What Were the Major Healthcare Challenges?
The immediate issue that strained healthcare providers was patient load. Here, we are not only talking about Covid-19 patients, but generally sick people in need of medical attention. The pandemic affected the capacity of hospitals to even serve non Covid-19 patients.
This disease severely affected healthcare providers, especially first responders, across the board. This limited the capacity of caregivers to effectively serve all patients, regardless of the nature of medical emergency.

Healthcare; A Highly Regulated Sector
The other major challenge in the healthcare sector is stringent regulation. Without doubt, medical records are one of the most sensitive and confidential information. Hospitals can’t think of putting such a sensitive data at risk of intrusion.
For this very reason, when hospitals chose an IT infrastructure to house patient’s data, they mostly opted in favor of on premise solutions. These are not only expensive to setup and maintain, their utilization is not possible at the scale necessitated by this disease.
