Dr. Akhavan Clara

Health systems in low-income countries face unique challenges in delivering equitable, accessible, and quality healthcare to their populations. Delivery arrangements, including the organization, financing, and management of health services, play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. This article explores the delivery arrangements for health systems in lowincome countries, focusing on the key challenges they face and innovative approaches that have emerged to improve health service delivery. Countries with low incomes face significant challenges in ensuring the availability, accessibility, and affordability of essential medical supplies. This abstract provides an overview of medical supply strategies in countries with low incomes, focusing on the key challenges they encounter and innovative approaches that have been implemented to address these challenges. Limited financial resources, inadequate infrastructure, supply chain inefficiencies, and disparities in access to medical supplies are among the major challenges faced by these countries. To overcome these challenges, innovative strategies such as local production of essential medicines, bulk procurement, strategic partnerships, and supply chain management reforms have been employed. These strategies aim to enhance affordability, reduce dependency on imports, improve supply chain efficiency, and ensure the availability of quality medical supplies. Additionally, collaboration with international organizations, donor support, and knowledge sharing play a crucial role in strengthening medical supply systems in low-income countries. While significant progress has been made, sustained investment, capacity building, and long-term commitment are necessary to achieve sustainable and resilient medical supply systems in countries with low incomes.
