There’s been a bombardment of bad news for drug supplies. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists found this summer that nearly all of the members it surveyed were experiencing drug shortages, which generally affect half a million Americans. Cancer patients have scrambled as supplies of chemotherapy drugs dwindle. Other shortages include antibiotics for treatable diseases, such as the only drug recommended for use during pregnancy to prevent congenital syphilis (a disease that is 11 times more common today than a decade ago), and A.D.H.D. medications, without which people struggle to function in their day-to-day lives. The toll on Americans is heavy.
It’s time to get real about artificial intelligence applied to our drug development and manufacturing outsourcing – practical supply-chain enhancements from AI-generated insights that can be implemented right now. A helpful source in this undertaking is Professor Tinglong Dai of Johns Hopkins University.
