INTRODUCTION: This study aims to develop a pharmaceutical supply chain traceability and logistics management model grounded in the performance of a resilient green hospital operating under crisis conditions in Greater Tehran.
METHODS: This exploratory–analytical study is applied in terms of purpose. Given the indeterminate size of the population, a sample of 384 respondents was selected using Morgan’s formula. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires, including: the Green Logistics Management questionnaire by Baah et al. (2019), the Supply Chain Traceability questionnaire by Cousins et al. (2019), the Circular Economy Practices questionnaire by Zeng et al. (2017), and the Sustainability Performance questionnaire by Agyabeng‑Mensah et al. (2020).Data was analyzed and coded using SPSS and Smart PLS software.
FINDINGS: The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between pharmaceutical supply chain traceability, green logistics management, and the performance of resilient green hospitals under crisis conditions.
CONCLUSION: According to the results, enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain traceability alongside the implementation of green logistics management can significantly improve the performance and resilience of green hospitals during crisis situations.
