Summary. Rural and low-income U.S. communities face critical barriers to accessing essential medications due to geographic isolation, economic constraints, and inefficient supply chains. The paper examines supply chain innovations—including mobile pharmacies, micro-fulfillment centers, AI-driven forecasting, and blockchain technology—to improve medication delivery. It proposes regulatory frameworks and public-private partnerships to support these solutions and recommends federal and state policies to expand coverage for underserved populations.
