It can support extending geographic coverage for better product access, improving service levels for better product availability, ensuring product quality, and capturing operational efficiencies for better value for money. Moreover, it can enhance operational flexibility and improve supply chain resilience. Effective logistics outsourcing is a critical contributor to improving health service delivery and health outcomes.
