Overall, filled questionnaires were received from 135 health facilities representing a response rate of 79.8% was attained for analysis. The analysis of data involved correlation and regression analysis for answering the research questions in accordance with the study objectives. The results revealed positive and significant relationships between; absorptive capacity and supply chain performance, absorptive capacity and supply chain flexibility and finally, supply chain flexibility and supply chain performance. Accordingly, the mediating findings indicated that supply chain flexibility partially mediates the relationship between absorptive capacity and supply chain performance. From the findings, discussion, conclusions and recommendations were drawn.
