I first heard collapse in reference to health care institutions and systems during the pandemic. To me the word implied complete inability to provide any care. Now I hear about it in the context of the Gaza war.
What does “collapse” mean? Is there a public health field definition ?
I hear “on the brink of collapse” in reference to healthcare institutions Gaza frequently over the last two years. I know few to no supplies have made it for quite a long time and hospital conditions are pretty minimal…but it is always “the brink of collapse” and never collapsing.
- What keeps the healthcare system in Gaza limping along on the brink, frequently declared on the brink but (almost?) never declared collapsed? How long can something be on the brink?
- have they periodically received sufficient supplies pulling them back from the brink, and then we hear about it in the news once the brink is reached again?
