The flowchart shows the pharmaceutical supply chain from raw materials to consumers. Raw material suppliers provide materials to API manufacturers, who supply drug manufacturers to create final products. Products then flow through distributors to pharmacies/hospitals and healthcare providers, reaching end consumers. This overview demonstrates the supply chain's complexity and importance of proper handling throughout.
