Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged healthcare systems around the world with the large number of hospitalizations and the need for intensive care management. The capacity of healthcare systems to provide adequate treatment and prevent the spread of the virus has become a crucial factor in the fight against COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to assess and contrast the healthcare system capabilities of various countries in handling COVID-19 patients and managing intensive care. The study will use and analyze data to compare the number of intensive care units (ICUs), hospital beds, and healthcare workers in the most affected countries. Through this analysis, the chapter aims to provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different healthcare systems and identify best practices in intensive care management during the pandemic. The comparison will provide insights into the preparedness of healthcare systems and the effectiveness of the measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus.
