Cencora has expanded its sure supply program, a drug shortage mitigation initiative designed to provide health systems with access to critical medications, including those at risk of going on shortage. Nearly 200 medications—including treatments for oncology as well as critical care, cardiovascular care and infectious diseases—are now available through the program. The program works with a 6 month safety stock reserve of critical medications maintained for health systems enrolled in the program. Cencora negotiates long-term agreements with manufacturers to produce inventory, increasing the quantity of medication in the supply chain to mitigate the effect of supply gaps.
