Drug Safety: Monitoring Supply Chains and Preventing Shortages

This act aims to ensure Americans always have access to essential medicines. The government will create and update a list of critical drugs, assess risks in their supply chains, and monitor where drug ingredients come from to prevent shortages and protect public health.
Key points
The government will create and regularly update a list of essential medicines, including those critical for public health emergencies or for patients with chronic conditions.
A risk assessment of these medicine supply chains will be conducted to identify those most vulnerable to shortages, especially those from foreign sources or single suppliers.
A system will be established to map drug supply chains, tracking production from raw materials to finished products, using data analytics to identify vulnerabilities.
Cybersecurity measures will be implemented to protect sensitive data related to drug production and supply.
