Prioritising Health Linking Stock-Out Events to Clinical Outcomes

 Prioritising Health: Linking Stock-Out Events to Clinical Outcomes by Gabula Sadat

A silent crisis is unfolding in health systems worldwide. It doesn’t always make headlines, but its impact is profound: essential medicines and supplies run out, and patient care suffers.

For healthcare leaders, policymakers, and administrators, the frustration is all too familiar. A stock-out of a simple commodity—a vaccine, a course of antibiotics, or maternal health supplies—can bring critical services to a halt. The result? Suspended treatments, compromised patient safety, and a slow erosion of trust in the very systems built to provide care.

The challenge has always been proving the invisible cost. How do you quantify the clinical damage caused by an empty shelf? How do you advocate for resources when the link between a missing commodity and a negative patient outcome is felt but not documented?

This book provides the answer.

In Prioritising Health, author Gabula Sadat—a leading strategic architect in health supply chains and organizational development—delivers a groundbreaking, data-driven framework that finally connects the dots.
