- Authors
BROMBACHER, AARNOUT C.
- Abstract
The author discusses the negative effects of cost reduction on the quality and reliability of revolutionary developments in the field of healthcare and medicine. He cites the reported cases of permanent blindness due to a poor-quality procedure in laser surgery to repair myopia. Another case concerned a major supplier of products for diabetics that distributed products on the market obtained through parallel import. He calls for the creation of a mechanism to analyze the quality and reliability of the supply chain in health care delivery.
