Several factors contribute to the strain on healthcare systems during epidemiological events:
Increased Patient Volume: A sudden surge in the number of patients requiring medical attention can overwhelm healthcare facilities. Resource Shortages: The increased demand for medical supplies, equipment, and personnel can lead to shortages, complicating treatment efforts. Workforce Fatigue: Healthcare workers may face long hours and high stress, leading to burnout and reduced efficiency. Economic Constraints: Limited financial resources can hinder the ability to scale up healthcare services rapidly.
