Data were collected on public health supply chains at different levels, state, district, sub-district, or block. For that purpose 13 block level institutions from two districts of Odisha were included. Drug and logistics supply chains of essential drugs, and national programmes were studied. Poorly coordinated Supply chain lead to stock-out of more than 15% of total number of products was higher in backward districts and rural areas. The mean for number of days of stock-out per product were found to be highest at the block level.
