Five years of COVID-19: the lasting impact on the hospital sector

Five years ago, the world faced one of the greatest health crises in modern history. Since the WHO declared the pandemic on March 11, 2020, hospitals became the epicenter of an unprecedented battle: collapsing health systems, lack of resources, healthcare personnel at the limit and extreme pressure that tested the global response capacity.

Today, although the most critical phase is behind us and the pressure on hospitals has eased, the scars are still open. The pandemic left an indelible mark on hospital management, accelerating changes in infrastructure, protocols and medical technologies. In addition, the impact of long COVID continues to fill up surgeries, and the risk of new variants keeps health systems on alert.

Five years on, how has the hospital sector evolved? What lessons have healthcare professionals learned? This anniversary is an opportunity to analyze how the pandemic transformed healthcare and what challenges continue to shape the future of hospitals.

Keep ICU running properly

In these coronavirus times, hospitals must ensure the proper functioning of ICU, ensuring that health care teams don’t fail, and that patients can count on the health service in absolute safety.

At ETKHO we specialize in the manufacture of electrical safety equipment, and we provide services for critical hospital areas, the ones that should be in optimal condition in the current situation.

You can count on specialists in high quality services and technological products, guaranteeing a good operation of the IT electrical systems of the critical areas or units.

COVID-19 patient ventilators

Among the indispensable tools or devices for health today we find the ventilation devices for COVID-19 patients.

This has motivated us to write about what they are, how they work, what kind of ventilators are available. Moreover, we think it is convenient to talk to you about electrical safety in order to guarantee the good working of health centres.

They are simply mechanical ventilators for patients with breathing difficulties. A respirator is a machine that is electrically powered, that is why it is important to have good electrical safety to ensure that hospital facilities in critical areas can respond effectively to the electrical demand for these devices.
