Equipment shortages can be attributed to several factors:
Supply Chain Disruptions: Global supply chains can be interrupted by various events such as pandemics, natural disasters, or political instability. Increased Demand: During health crises, the sudden spike in demand for medical supplies often outstrips the available supply. Manufacturing Limitations: Production capabilities can be limited by raw material shortages, labor issues, and technological constraints. Logistical Challenges: Distribution and transportation issues can delay the delivery of essential equipment to healthcare facilities.
