IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ON
PHARMACEUTICALS
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the pharmaceutical supply
chain around the world. As worries about medicine availability during the
pandemic grow, it has become more important to know how the pandemic is
affecting the supply chain. The pandemic has caused short-term problems in the
pharmaceutical industry, which could cause supply chains to move away from
China and India, which are the two biggest suppliers of raw materials. Also, the
pandemic has caused a huge rise in the need for medicines, which has led to
severe shortages. It has also made it hard to make and ship medicines, which
has slowed down delivery times. It's also important to note that the pandemic
has shown how important it is to have safe, reliable, and able-to-respond-to-
unexpected-events pharmaceutical systems and supply chains.
Several studies have looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the
supply chain of medicines around the world. One study by the UNODC Global
Research Network found that the pandemic has made it harder for people
around the world to get medicine, especially in low- and middle-income
countries where production and supply have been disrupted. Another study
published in the International Journal of Production Economics found that the
pandemic has made the global supply chain more uncertain, which has led to
less production and higher costs. Also, a cross-sectional study published in the
journal Cancer Care and Research found that the pandemic has had a big effect
on cancer care around the world, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Lastly, a quick review in the journal Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics
found that the pandemic has messed up the global supply chain of antiretroviral
drugs, delaying delivery and access to these important medicines.
IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ON EDUCATION
The steps that the Indian government has taken to make sure that everyone gets
a good education are emphasised. People have also talked about both the good
and bad effects of the pandemic on the education system. Also, some good ideas
are given for making sure that educational activities run as smoothly as possible
during the pandemic. In 2020, a study looked at how the closing of schools in
Nigeria because of the pandemic affected schools. The pandemic has also been
blamed for the decline of international education, the disruption of academic
schedules in higher education, the cancellation of international conferences, the
lack of staff in educational institutions, the creation of gaps between teaching
and learning, and a cut to the budget of higher education. This study also gives
the government some suggestions, like increasing the budget for higher
education, which could help higher education institutions deal with the damage
caused by the covid pandemic and the closing of schools.
