Document: Global healthcare systems have not been well prepared for a pandemia with such a rapid spread of a highly infectious virus. The large numbers of infected individuals and the large number of patients requiring hospitalization, and in particular, intensive care for respiratory support is overwhelming regional health care systems. Key consumables like face masks, key infrastructures like intensive care beds and key systems for respiratory assist like ventilators are not everywhere available in sufficient numbers, leading to a buying frenzy and efforts for rapidly building large numbers of ICU ventilators. An insufficient number of resources may lead 8 , and already has led 9 , to rationing of potentially life-saving activities like ventilation. In some areas, large patient numbers and insufficient resources have already led to rationing of medical activities like Intensive Care Unit admission and ventilation by excluding some patients with high predicted mortality and reduced life expectation. This calls for rapid efforts for improving availability of vital support equipment 10 .
