Meril Life Sciences Empowers Healthcare Leaders with Digital Technologies to Build Supply Chain Efficiency

Gujarat 16 October 2024 In line with their commitment to improve healthcare efficacy, Meril Life Sciences recently carried out a two-day practitioner-oriented executive program, “Get Ahead in Life,” for senior and middle managers involved in healthcare supply chain management and procurement. The workshop focused on addressing critical challenges and opportunities in the healthcare supply chain through the use of cutting-edge digital technologies, AI, and product knowledge training.

Participants gained insights into product features, technical specifications, and the significance of Meril Life Science’s solutions during surgical procedures. The program also highlighted how digital tools can improve the healthcare supply chain by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and security. Ultimately, this can improve patient care by ensuring healthcare providers have timely access to necessary resources.

Speaking on the occasion, Vivek Shah, CEO, Meril Life Sciences, stated, “As a healthcare leader, we are deeply committed to advancing healthcare through continuous innovation. This is evidenced in our strong pipeline of upcoming launches in orthopaedic, endo-surgery and diagnostics. These advancements are designed to meet the growing demands of modern healthcare, ensuring that we equip surgeons and clinicians with cutting-edge tools that drive better patient outcomes.”

Dr. Venkatesan N, Director & Chief Procurement Officer, Max Healthcare, said, “In India, the healthcare sector faces unique procurement challenges, from managing fragmented supply chains to ensuring the timely availability of critical medical supplies. With increasing pressure on hospitals to improve efficiency while controlling costs, adopting new procurement technologies is essential, yet the transition can be complex. Comprehensive training and support are crucial for building confidence in these systems and aligning them with the day-to-day realities of healthcare operations. By integrating procurement and clinical teams, we can bridge the gap between advanced technology and practical application, ultimately enhancing efficiency, reducing errors, and improving patient outcomes.”

Mr. Balaji S., GM Procurement, Kokilaben Hospital, emphasised, “One of the biggest challenges in the healthcare supply chain today is integrating rapidly evolving technologies with the operational realities of healthcare providers. Meril Academy plays a crucial role in addressing this by bridging the gap between technological advancements and practical implementation. Through their workshops and training programs, they equip professionals—clinicians, technicians, and procurement managers—with the skills needed to seamlessly adopt new technologies.”

Mr. Vikas Goyal DGM & Head SCMS, Fortis Hospital stated, “Training and support are vital in overcoming these hurdles, especially when integrating new procurement technologies. Role-specific training helps align these technologies with the daily workflows of both procurement and clinical teams, reducing disruptions. By fostering collaboration and providing hands-on experience, healthcare professionals can see firsthand how technology improves cost efficiency, reduces errors, ensures the timely delivery of resources, directly benefiting patient care.”

A major change is being observed in the healthcare supply chain through the adoption of digital technologies. Automation, data analytics or real-time tracking has become essential in operations, invoicing and inventory decision-making. Such benefits result in efficiency, cost reduction and quality care of patients since important medical supplies will be available when needed. With continuing improvements for CNMs, the present and future healthcare supply chain will be much more effective and resilient, responsive and sustainable to deliver and achieve better healthcare outcomes for providers and patients.
