Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the supply chain resilience measures adopted by the Regional Hospital Center of Agadir (RHC Agadir) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis underscored the vital importance of logistics and supply chain management in hospitals, highlighting their pivotal role in patient care. The study aims to identify essential resilience strategies to stabilize a hospital’s supply chain during such pandemics. Drawing from diverse theoretical and empirical research, the study uncovers various resilience techniques employed by hospitals to counter supply chain disruptions. Our findings affirm the significant impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain, but resilience measures effectively reduced its disruptive consequences. Consequently, this research at RHC Agadir offers insights into risk mitigation and suggests a resilient supply chain framework for the Moroccan hospital sector, equipping them to face future challenges and risks.
