HEALTHCARE SUPPLY CHAIN: DELIVERING BETTER OUTCOMES

Medical Devices

Medical device advancements help save the lives of patients in Canada by simplifying the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and illnesses. Improved life expectancies consequently increase the demand for health care technologies and enlarge the potential market for medical devices. In this ever changing environment, medical device manufacturing companies have to continuously re-adjust by restructuring their operations, creating strategic alliances, and outsourcing their supply chain activities in order to focus on R&D and manufacturing.

SCI is a trusted partner that supports medical device distribution with a diversified set of capabilities that ensure operational excellence, responsiveness, reliability and cost transparency. All supply chain activities are governed by SCI’s Quality Management System. Innovative processes and continuous improvement methodologies lead to cost savings, efficiencies, and improved productivity.

Healthcare Providers

Market pressures are driving change in the global healthcare sector, including Canada. Growing healthcare expenditures and limited funding create financial pressures on healthcare providers.
By 2036, it is projected that there will be more than 10 million seniors in Canada, leading to greater demand for healthcare, which means that the industry stakeholders will have to re-think their traditional business models. Funding and care delivery must change in order to ensure sustainable, long-term high quality patient care.

Improved healthcare is a result of enhanced system coordination, including supply chain. SCI is committed to supporting and strengthening functional integration alongside health system partners. SCI channels its patient-focused attitude to engineer and execute supply chain solutions that ensure accountability and compliance while decreasing costs.

Natural Health Products

Natural health has become a popular interest for consumers, increasing the demand for relevant products. Natural health companies need to leverage this demand and organize effective distribution to stores or directly to their end consumers.
