Abstract:

Nowadays, hospital logistics has become an essential component of healthcare institutions. It allows the synchronization of all the flows inside a hospital to ensure the efficiency of the health care system, particularly in the case of cancerous diseases. This paper presents a synthesis of the research carried out since 1992 on hospital logistics chain. The 1st part of this article is dedicated to the hospital logistics chain; in the second part we discuss research work on logistics optimization within the surgery department; the 3rd part is devoted to problems related to chemotherapy; and we conclude by presenting our perspective that links these three areas of research; namely, the optimization of the hospital logistics chain of the surgery and oncology departments.
