In Washington, supply chains are now tied to national security, resilience, and public health. We’re seeing that play out in FDA policy, inspection priorities, and legislation like the BIOSECURE Act.
Across the Atlantic, the story is similar—but not identical. The European Union is advancing its own framework through the Critical Medicines Act, shortage‑prevention mandates, and new expectations around manufacturing resilience.
