Re: Saudi Arabia - Ministry of Health increases hospital shifts to 13 hours and cancels leave for those treating coronavirus MERS cases

Three reasons occur to me as to why such a practice would be instituted.

  1. So many patients they are short-handed.
  2. Too few qualified personnel because of either death/illness of medical personnel .
  3. Too many qualified hospital personnel have fled the country leaving gaps in MERS healthcare.
