Background: Public health emergency management systems encountered difficulties in developing countries, especially in Pakistan. The COVID-19 pandemic was extremely challenging for different agencies, departments, and institutions in Pakistan. Public health emergency management depends on a well-established public health emergency operations center that could generate a coordinated response to escalated incidents. We conducted an assessment of public health emergency response and coordination implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic management at a strategic level in Pakistan. Methods: This was mix-method study including qualitative and quantitative data collection processes implemented in 2022-23. Primary data was collected by using a structured questionnaire, and secondary data was collected by desk review. The agencies engaged in pandemic response at the national level in Pakistan were included in the assessment. Results: The overall score of the emergency response coordination system during COVID-19 was 49% for all agencies. We found that agencies faced challenges in leadership, legislation, and financing issues during the pandemic response (44%). None of the agencies had a fully developed framework for joint planning and response system for health emergencies. Roles and responsibilities attached to designated agencies in response were relatively clear (55%) for most of the agencies. Conclusion: An effective public health emergency response is based on multi-departmental coordination, resource mobilization, and correct information. Pakistan must proactively address these and other relevant challenges for future pandemic response.

The data was collected utilizing a five-point Likert scale in in-person and online questionnaire surveys, while it was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 22.0. The present study identified that inventory automation, distribution turnover and inventory control have a significant and positive relationship with inventory management. This evaluation of the literature advances the field of study by offering one of the first in-depth investigations of how to manage inventory items in the healthcare supply chains of Pakistan. The study advises SC managers that by implementing a real-time inventory management system in the company, consumers can locate items quickly and have more accurate information about their location and availability.
