Make that every country. Prevention is better than limited life support.
If judiciary take necessary actions and bring back all looted ? money from sisiliean mafias who ruled the country last 30 years ,then there is no shortage of anything any medical facilities. All these things will depend on our great judiciary system , how they can apply the laws on the our country special VIP criminals, and bring back the stolen money from the country.

Ventilators ki nobat nahi aey gi InshaAllah.
there is no cure specific to corona novel covid 19
hospitals can only provide relief from symptoms like shortness of breath with fever with other ailments
covid virus attacks persons lungs and breathing difficultyis the major symptom

hospitals can manage these symptoms to boost patients own immunity to fight off the virus.so ventilator is the most important when patients own lungs are not functioning properly

immunity means patients own strength
ventilators help them in keeping strong and this strength give them their immunity time to fight off the virus

Ventilators mean assisted breathing. They are interventions. There are health problems associated with them. They can save lives, sometimes buying time for healing, sometimes for treatment. They mostly have queues. Not all patients get off then alive. Some are taken off to make room for others with more chances. One ventilator needs an ICU bed, skilled doctors, staff, medication, disposables, monitoring equipment, facilities, etc. They cost, when they are available. And after getting off alive, patients can have complications esp lung problems as they expose inner airways to foreign bodies and intervention. Head injury, liver, post operative etc patients recover and start breathing and are taken off ventilators. In the case of Covid/corona virus, the lungs themselves are affected. How long it takes them to heal so the person can get off a ventilator is a guess like in any other situation. Ventilators do not increase immunity. They buy you time. They are not a solution but a support equipment.

In this case they are part of the solution buying time for patient to recover on the strength of their immunity
