Abstract

The availability of essential drugs is a very important factor for sustaining the health and well-being of the population, particularly the elderly, who are often burdened with chronic and age-related illnesses. In Bihar, one of India's most populous and resource-constrained states, the health supply chain faces significant challenges that lead to frequent unavailability of essential drugs. This paper examines the impact of supply chain inefficiencies on the elderly population, highlighting underlying factors such as unavailability/stockouts of essential drugs related to the elderly population in Bihar. By analyzing data and case studies, this study proposes actionable solutions to improve the healthcare supply chain commodities, ensuring equitable availability of essential medicines for the elderly residents of Bihar.
