Healthcare is a very "heavy" industry on the global market meaning it implies great economic but also social values. Economic high values often speculate higher cost and higher risks. Social values add different vulnerability doses in the supply chain processes. Unlike other industries, healthcare has the highest impact on people lives therefore supply chain managers share a great social responsability as well.
