Pharma and healthcare

As inflationary pressures such as energy, transport, and labour drive up costs, they also raise the need for strategic supplier management to meet these cost challenges and achieve faster drug-to-market launch times; without slipping on regulatory and ESG requirements.

Consolidation trends in private healthcare – from clinics, to eyecare, fertility, and rehabilitation to name a few – also raise post-merger integration challenges where Procurement can have a significant impact.
