Supplies: Items like bandages, dressings, gloves, syringes, needles, and oxygen tanks are used daily for patient care and hygiene.
Diagnostic & Monitoring Equipment: Devices such as stethoscopes, cardiac monitors, blood pressure monitors, and ECG machines help assess a patient's condition.
Treatment & Surgical Equipment: This category includes ventilators, infusion pumps, surgical instruments, defibrillators, and specialized lighting for operating rooms.

Patient Transport & Comfort: Gurneys, beds, and other equipment designed for patient movement and comfort are essential in any hospital.
Medications: Hospitals maintain a stock of various medicines and therapies to treat different illnesses and conditions.
Hospital Size and Capacity: Larger hospitals generally require more extensive inventories than smaller facilities.
Specialties and Services: Hospitals specializing in specific areas, such as cardiology or orthopedics, will have a greater quantity of related products.
Technological Advancements: The adoption of new and complex medical technologies, such as advanced imaging systems, directly adds to the variety and number of products.
Inventory Management: To manage this wide range of products, hospitals use inventory management systems to track resources, prevent shortages, control costs, and ensure that clinicians have access to necessary supplies. Another point that renewable enthusiasts do not comprehend is that everything that needs electricity, like cardiac monitors, electrocardiogram machines, infusion pumps, Xray machines, etc. are all made from the processed crude oil that goes through refineries.

For wealthy countries, it's shocking to comprehend that more than 80% of the 8 billion on this planet are living on less than $10/day, which means that there are more than 6 billion that have yet to join the industrial revolution.
Consequently, to meet the supply chain of products and transportation fuels for those "poor" 6 billion and replacing aging refineries, plans are in place to add 181 new refineries by 2030, reflecting continued demand for refined products that so-called wind and solar renewables are incapable of supporting.
Our material prosperity and longevity have been built on the ability to refine and process underground hydrocarbons of crude oil, coal, and natural gas, into usable forms. Net-zero ideologies ignore this fundamental truth and, by doing so, risk leaving future generations with scarcity and instability.
Hospitals and the entire medical industry, and the health and well-being of billions on this planet, will suffer from the transition to wind turbines and solar panels as those so-called renewables CANNOT support that supply chain of the thousands of products demanded by doctors and hospitals. These renewables only generate occasional electricity under favorable weather conditions but provide no products for humanity.
