Washington, DC (February 25, 2021) – Healthcare Supply Chain Association (HSCA) President and CEO Khatereh Calleja today released the following statement regarding President Biden’s Executive Order on America’s supply chains of critical goods, products, and services:

“HSCA and its member group purchasing organizations (GPOs) applaud President Biden for his focus on strengthening the resiliency of America’s critical supply chains, including the healthcare supply chain.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of having a strong and diverse healthcare supply chain to ensure patient and provider access to critical medical products. GPOs have played a critical role in supporting COVID-19 response efforts and have long advocated for policy solutions that promote a robust and redundant supply chain. While we are still reviewing the Executive Order, we thank President Biden for his efforts to support a sustainable supply chain, and we look forward to working with him and his Administration to strengthen supply chain resiliency and preserve access to care.”
