Goal 4: Secure America’s Medical Supply Chain

A resilient and reliable medical supply chain can ensure that lifesaving medicines, devices, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other medical supplies are available during emergencies. The United States continues to be reliant on concentrated foreign sourcing of critical medicines, which can be impacted by shipping delays, geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and disasters. To secure America's supply chain, ASPR will meet the following objectives through targeted actions.

• OBJECTIVE 4.1: Bolster domestic manufacturing of critical medicines and their components, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and key starting materials (KSMs), to reduce dependency on foreign sourcing.
• OBJECTIVE 4.2: Incentivize the onshoring of manufacturing and minimize barriers to make it easier for industry to produce domestic MCMs and medical supplies.
  
• OBJECTIVE 4.3: Engage with industry and government partners to identify innovative and agile manufacturing models and increase visibility of supply chain vulnerabilities and dependencies.
