Abstract

The goal of this article is to look into the logistics of hospitals in Egypt. It specifies the many types of activities that a logistics division is responsible for. The application of information and communication technology (ICT) for logistics reasons, as well as inventory management policy, are also highlighted. The nature of strategic alliances in Egypt's healthcare industry is examined in this study. The data was gathered using a methodology, which included pre-testing the questionnaire and conducting interviews. The questionnaire was created after reviewing a variety of relevant literature. According to the findings of this study, logistics divisions engage in a variety of connected operations, and some even supply engineering services. ICT is used in hospitals. The hospitals are organized into numerous categories in order to reduce operating costs, particularly logistics expenditures. Hospitals, on the other hand, do not view supplier alliances as a strategic option, preferring to outsource logistics services. The findings also demonstrate that Egyptian hospitals have a good stocking policy for both medical and non-medical commodities, allowing for easy handling of fluctuations in patient mix. Egypt's healthcare industry is constantly improving, and the findings will aid hospitals in other regions in adopting some of the practices, such as focusing on local vendors, outsourcing, clustering, and maximizing the use of information technology as competitive factors that can improve service and lower operating costs. The study discusses what motivates people to use ICT in logistics in healthcare, as well as what prevents them from doing so.
