The concept of viability has become increasingly prominent in recent years, driven by the inadequacies of the existing frameworks, particularly following the disruptions caused by the pandemic. This growing focus on viability, especially within the context of medical supply chains (MSC), has garnered significant attention in the literature as researchers seek to address the challenges of ensuring continuous medical products delivery. This study conducts a comprehensive review of 516 research papers retrieved from academic databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus and ScienceDirect, employing selection criteria to assess studies for developing viable MSC networks. Furthermore, the review examines the interconnections between viability, resilience, robustness, and sustainability to identify the key drivers of this emerging concept. The findings reveal an increasing emphasis on viability within MSC research while also exposing critical gaps in the existing literature. By identifying these gaps, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of viable MSC network problems and provides valuable insights for future research.
