In a letter to the leadership of major pharmacy organizations, HDA President and CEO Chester “Chip” Davis, Jr. underscores how individual distributors typically manage, and are adapting to, the unprecedented supply challenges presented by COVID-19.

Recipients included the American Pharmacists Association, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores.

Davis commends organizations and members working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. “During this crisis, the importance of close collaboration, and the strength of our relationships, has never been more vital as we deliver medication, medical supplies and critical care to patients during COVID-19,” he says.

Allocation and transparency

The letter addresses some concerns regarding wholesaler allocation practices, as there have been significant supply chain demands related to COVID-19.
