In spite of all scientific developments over the last decades, the world is hit by COVID-19; totally unprepared. In an unprecedented challenge to mankind, healthcare systems all over the world are subjected to the most extreme pressure and are forced to fight against a viral disease we still do not know enough about. Suddenly healthcare providers are overwhelmed with problems of diagnosing and screening a virus, managing a disease which has a spectrum that ends in ARDS and death and preventing the spread of infection with still no vaccine available. The demands for medical supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) increased exponentially matching the exponential increase in the numbers of infected persons. Some countries imposed marked restrictions on medical supplies and PPE. Shortage in medications become evident. The supply chain in the health sector is threatened to collapse.
