"For me the important aspect is that we need to be able to respond on real time on the challenges on the ground."
"It's like writing an exam, it's only after the exam when you can, in a real sense, tell that I was ready or I wasn't ready because the other one might just not be true if you say I'm ready and you find that there was a curve ball and other things.His sentiments were echoed by CEOs of some of the hard-hit hospitals in the province who said the looming infections peak would most definitely present problems.
"No facility in the country, and maybe anywhere in the world, would be best equipped to actually take the numbers that will actually be coming with the surge," he said.
