Abstract: Abstract Hospital logistics represents an important role for the health sector, since it allows the optimization of resources in relation to the different key actors such as laboratories, distributors and hospitals, where challenges such as demand planning, inventories and maintenance, distribution in the production cycle, control of production and administration centers, implementation of a logistics area, among others, are presented. According to the above and after a search of information for the characterization of the health sector in Colombia, it was determined to carry out a logistic maturity model focused on hospitals, from the results obtained it was found that in general the sector is at level three (3) out of five in total. Thus, the document presents a consolidation of the previous phases, with a prioritization of strategies for the development of a roadmap to be used as a guide for the actors, thus improving their processes to reach a higher level of maturity.
