STOCKHOLM (BLOOMBERG) - Sweden faces a shortage of healthcare workers as the number of resignations ticks up after a relentless year of caring for Covid-19 patients.
Chairman of the Swedish Association of Health Professionals Sineva Ribeiro says the situation is terrible . Even before the first wave of the pandemic back in March, there was a shortage of specialist nurses, including at ICUs , she said in a phone interview.
The development shows that even countries with universal healthcare systems are now struggling to keep up with the Covid-19 crisis. This week, Stockholm s intensive care capacity hit 99 per cent, sending the city into a panic and prompting calls for outside help.
