Abstract
Medical aid is one of the first and most recognised areas of humanitarian activity, applied in scenarios from disease outbreaks to wars. Logistics is an important backbone to medical aid, with many similarities but also some differences from other humanitarian sectors. This chapter revisits some of these and highlights areas of research with much potential for medical aid logistics in the future.
