When sudden public health events broke out, the demand for medical materials surged, so there were some problems such as lack of materials and low efficiency of medical materials transportation. This paper collects the literature related to medical material scheduling at home and abroad, mainly summarizes the location of medical emergency material warehouse and emergency medical material scheduling model, points out the areas that can be improved in the process of medical material scheduling in China at present and the direction that can be studied in the future, and puts forward several measures to improve it, so as to enhance the national emergency support capacity and better deal with major public health emergencies.
