2012 Conference on Health and Humanitarian Logistics

The main objectives of the conference are to articulate the opportunities and challenges in humanitarian response and world health, both from a humanitarian and a corporate/economic perspective, to identify important research issues, to create academic awareness for the research opportunities and to establish priorities for NGOs, corporations, and the government in terms of their strategies, policies, and investments.

Creating Sustainable Supply Systems for Delivering Humanitarian Assistance

Sustainability is a popular word these days. It certainly also applies to humanitarian and health supply chains. The humanitarian context is changing fast, case load is increasing, sources of funding are both shifting and decreasing, and complex disasters stretch our knowledge and experience. Hence, sustainable supply chains undoubtedly become a crucial component of humanitarian aid.

We would like to thank our sponsors for making the conference possible.
