Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic reveals how much the healthcare supply chain is fragile. Considerable efforts have been undertaken in the last 15 years to improve security and efficiency. Now one can measure the value of standards and require them to be implemented worldwide. This paper discusses how regulatory driven initiatives such as unique device identifier (UDI), identification of medicinal product (IDMP) and the measures to fight against falsification are among those which will provide improvement for global health.
