2013 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.

Adaptive Supply Chains to Increase Resilience

Activities will encourage discourse among participants through plenary panels, interactive workshops, educational workshops, innovation posters and facility tours. Discussions will focus on the role of logistics in areas such as disaster response, health systems and food security as well as highlight the unique logistical challenges for humanitarian response in Asia.

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