Several factors contribute to healthcare system overload, including:
Epidemics and Pandemics: Sudden outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can lead to a rapid increase in the number of patients requiring medical attention. Chronic Disease Burden: A high prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions can strain healthcare resources over time. Resource Limitations: Insufficient medical supplies, healthcare personnel, and infrastructure can limit the system's capacity to handle surges in demand. Policy and Management Issues: Inefficiencies and poor planning in healthcare management can exacerbate the problem.
