The COVID-19 outbreak has severely affected the healthcare ecosystem across the globe. The demand has been surging for essential healthcare equipment; however, the supply remained low. Countries are unable to meet the demand which has been surged owing to the increasing number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19.
Potential Impact
Globally, Governments as well as industry players are investing into the acquisition of healthcare equipment. Healthcare providers are anticipated to witness huge drop in their profit margin. According to a research published ‘‘The Economic Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Radiology Practices’’ on April 15, 2020 on Radiological Society of North America, the net decrease in demand for non-COVID-19 related health care and concomitant capacity expansion are encouraging developments for the collective public health response. However, their combination is also financially devastating for many medical specialties. While economic recessions tend to result in decreased health expenditures, the healthcare industry has never experienced an economic shock that is simultaneously exacerbated by the need to restrict its supply of certain services.

COVID-19 Benchmark to SARS
According to a study published on Pubmed, “The impact of the SARS epidemic”, the challenge of SARS highlighted on the need for greater investments in public health infrastructure. The outbreak placed a huge burden on international health systems that were already straining to address AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and a host of other conditions. WHO had an established structure to coordinate international resources and personnel and thereby muster surge capacity to address such outbreaks. A key factor underlying the influence of SARS on public health, political, and economic systems was the infection of large numbers of health care workers. The impact of SARS felt most in the local health care systems of affected areas, where caregivers were frequently hospitalized due to infection.
