Restricting medical resources

Description

Restricting medical resources involves the deliberate allocation or limitation of healthcare services, equipment, or treatments to address shortages, control costs, or prioritize urgent needs. This strategy aims to maximize the effective use of limited resources, ensure equitable distribution, and prevent system overload during crises. Practical actions include triage protocols, rationing essential medicines, and prioritizing vulnerable populations, thereby remedying issues of scarcity, inefficiency, and unequal access in healthcare delivery.
