Document: SSA, however, already faces several health challenges such as limited access to intensive care units, for example, in Uganda, there are only 55 intensive care unit (ICU) beds to serve 40 million people, 80% of which are located in the capital, and the nurse to patient ratio of 1:8 making it the worst in the region [6] . High-income countries (HICs) that have been affected by the disease are also facing inadequacy of ICUs. For example, Italy, which has the eighth-highest nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in the world [7] , and one of the greatest health systems with approximately 3.2 hospital beds per 1000 people (compared to 2.8 in USA), has found it hard to meet the needs of the overwhelming numbers of critically ill patients, some of whom are specialized health workers [8, 9] . This shows that no one was adequately prepared for the alarming numbers of COVID-19 cases.
