The 2025-2028 Draft Action Plan for Addressing Shortages of Medical Products and Critical Foods and Strengthening the Resilience of Medical Product and Critical Food Supply Chains (“Draft Action Plan”) presents coordinated and strategic actions that the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS,” or “Department”) plans to take from 2025 through 2028. This Draft Action Plan lays out four goals around strengthening the resilience of medical product and critical food supply chains:
- Goal 1: COORDINATE: Strengthen HHS's integrated approach to coordination, communication, and partnerships focused on improving the resilience of medical product and critical food supply chains.
- Goal 2: ASSESS: Increase availability and utilization of actionable insights into critical medical product and food supply chains for HHS.
- Goal 3: RESPOND: Strengthen HHS response to shortages and supply chain disruptions.
- Goal 4: PREVENT: Incentivize investment in supply chain resilience through increased supply chain diversification, redundancy, and other strategies.
The Draft Action Plan includes a companion Draft Research Plan document, which describes current research in this area as well as research priorities to support the goals of the Draft Action Plan.
The Draft Action Plan and Draft Research Plan were developed with public and private input.
