Abstract: Abstract There has been rising interest in the resilient supply chains of the healthcare industry following the stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geopolitical disruptive events. While the resilient supply chain literature is robust, there is a dearth of studies related to resilient healthcare supply chain (RHSC), in general, and the resilient pharmaceutical supply chain, in specific. The current study integrates the academic and grey literature as well as experts’ opinions, to develop a theoretical framework that can be used to assess the resiliency of PSC. This research proposes a novel framework—the argumentation-based modified total interpretive structural modeling with polarity (ABM-TISMP)—that integrates MICMAC, network, and scenario analyses. With this framework, the paper aims to help scholars and practitioners understand the “what,” “how,” and “why” of the RHSC, as well as identify future research directions.
