Description
Healthcare supply chains are constantly evolving and, thus, are subject to an array of disruptive risks. Apart from being crucial to the sustenance of human life, the healthcare supply chains are pivotal in adding value to the economy. The Indian healthcare supply chain is an intricate structure of indigenous and international entities functioning in unison to provide healthcare products to the masses. Bottlenecks along the healthcare supply chain can lead to disruptive consequences at any point. Thus, the identification of these disruptive risks is crucial in articulating risk mitigation strategies and ensuring business continuity. This study identifies supply chain risks along the Indian healthcare supply chain through unstructured interviews with industry experts. The identified risks are prioritised using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision matrix. The results revealed that the Indian healthcare supply chain is facing obstacles with respect to import and export activities. Copyright 2026 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
