While building a strong and risk-free supply chain is essential for buyers in all industries, when it comes to health care, the stakes couldn't be higher. Even the slightest hiccup can lead to a catastrophic loss of human life. That's why the United Nations World Food Programme and NEC Corporation joined together to help streamline and strengthen the supply chain. 

The partnership has led to the creation of a new information platform to help countries better respond to pandemics and other health crises.

The platform is intended to improve response times, find cost efficiencies, and aid in continuous improvement when it comes to new global health crises.
