Professionalization in the public sector health supply chain management: IAPHL’s present and future contribution

چکیده
Background In the 1990s, public sector technicians, mainly pharmacists, were gaining skills to fulfil their responsibilities in supply chain management (SCM) through different training sessions. Supply chain management was neither recognized as a unique profession nor institutionalized under Ministries of Health. The increasing need for global dialogue regarding health supply chain experiences, skills, and best practices was evident. To respond to this need and to strengthen the professionalization of supply chain management, the International Association of Public Health Logisticians (IAPHL) was created in 2007.
