Challenges in the delivery of high-quality patient centric care in Canada is plagued by staff and medical supplies shortages and spiking burnout rates leading to closures of more than a thousand emergency rooms in 2023. A literature review was conducted to examine the crisis preparedness and responsiveness of healthcare establishments in Ukraine in a warfare context, with the intent of exacting recommendations to respond to shortages in Canadian hospitals. Utilizing queries on distinct databases, more than 17,500 entries were found, narrowed, and selected for review. Managerial implications for Canadian establishments include: (1) adapting a change management approach, (2) capitalizing on existing assets, resources, and networks, (3) recognizing cyclical patterns to prevent negative outcomes, (4) planning for and attending to the vulnerabilities of specific sub-population groups, (5) utilizing geolocated analytics, and (6) exploiting external expertise and volunteer network through tailored working conditions.

KIDNEYS

During armed conflicts (AC) and other disasters, the elderly, women, children, the infirm and the chronically ill patients are the most vulnerable population, with a high risk to health and life. Chronically ill people with kidney diseases, including those with kidney failure, deserve special attention due to their complete dependence on available functional infrastructure, and access to vital drugs and well-trained personnel. Currently, there is little information on the effects of AC on patients with kidney damage compared to the available data about the effects of other disasters. Mechanisms of injuries in AC and natural or man-made disasters have similar and distinctive features. Distinctive features: during AC — mainly gunshot and mine blast injuries, bleedings, poisonings by toxic substances, during disasters — hypothermia or burns, mechanical injuries, etc. Similar features include damage to infrastructure, particularly health care facilities, shortage of medicines, medical personnel, humanitarian and other crises, and a large number of injured and traumatized people in the hospitals. In this article, we systematized the material obtained during the military conflict, as well as reviewed domestic and foreign articles on this topic in order to optimize the work of nephrologists in the conditions of martial law and limited resources.
