Similar to water, electricity, and food supply chains, the healthcare system, with its staff, clinics, hospitals, ambulances, and other facilities, is an essential part of the life-sustaining infrastructures of every society. It is hard to imagine a reality where the sick and injured have nowhere to receive treatment.
