Authors : Bouhadjeb Madjida . Terbeche Mohamed .

Abstract

This study aims to build an integrated framework for digitizing Healthcare Supply Chain Management by highlighting the differences between digital and traditional supply chains and the role of digital technologies in reshaping operations. It analyzed international experiences and the Saidal Group in Algeria, which implemented a pharmaceutical drug serialization project, showing that digitization improves logistics performance, enables accurate tracking of medical supplies, and reduces waste. The study concluded that digitization enhances traceability, lowers costs, improves transparency, and optimizes resource use. It also emphasized the importance of developing digital infrastructure, training human competencies, and adopting a gradual, participatory approach to ensure the success and sustainability of digital transformation in healthcare supply chains, particularly in the Algerian context,
