If there is one place where the global COVID-19 crisis has left its deepest mark on the business sector, it is on the ability to change. Undoubtedly, no one expected or estimated the extent of this crisis, and, these days, it still leaves big question marks in the global and local markets. The published forecasts are mostly bleak, and the uncertainty is great. Although the quarantine is lifted and borders are opening in many places around the world, everything is still handled under great fear and under restrictions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced large-scale operational changes in virtually every industry, from education to finance to media and entertainment. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in healthcare – particularly in hospitals.
