About NHSCC
The National Healthcare Supply Chain Council (NHSCC) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening and advancing the healthcare supply chain ecosystem in India.
We bring together healthcare providers, manufacturers, distributors, logistics experts, and policymakers to create a robust, transparent, and sustainable supply network that supports the nation's healthcare goals.
At NHSCC, we believe that a resilient supply chain is the foundation of effective healthcare delivery. Through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation, we work to ensure that essential healthcare products and technologies reach patients efficiently and responsibly.
To be the leading force in building a world-class healthcare supply chain ecosystem in India that ensures every patient has timely access to quality healthcare products.
To unite healthcare supply chain stakeholders through collaboration, capacity building, research, and innovation — driving efficiency, transparency, and sustainability across the ecosystem.
The Challenge
India's healthcare sector is growing rapidly, but its supply chain infrastructure hasn't kept pace. Fragmented systems, limited collaboration between stakeholders, and the absence of shared standards create inefficiencies that ultimately impact patient care.
NHSCC was founded to address these systemic challenges — not through isolated efforts, but through a united industry voice.
