Each hospital has its own rules and regulations across the world. In Norway, blood must reach wards in 15 minutes. Other specific legislation to note is the NIS2 Directive, a European Union law for high-level cybersecurity across all member states. Country-specific narcotic laws, national regulations that control trade and possession of psychoactive and addictive substances. Reforms around the world, such as INVIMA in Colombia, the National Institute for Drug and Food Surveillance. And the Dubai law No. 5 of 2025, a comprehensive public health legislation.
Hospitals are busy places, and staff have to work around the clock. With labor shortagesand increased workload, staff often feel burned out, which can affect the quality of care they give to their patients. By 2023, the world will face a nurse deficit. Some countries and regions have a nurse shortage now; Greece, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands all have under 1,500 nurses per 100,000 inhabitants, while the recommended number of nurses is 20,000 per 100,000 inhabitants. According to National Nurses United, 1 nurse to 5 patients is the optimal ratio, yet nurses can see up to 11 patients per day depending on country and position.
Nursing staff is becoming rarer, perhaps due to the aging population. In the next couple of years, 1 in 6 people globally will be 60 years of age or older. Perception of unfair wages: 57.2% of healthcare workers feel they are not paid fairly. While over 70% of workers experience stress and physical strain on the job. What will help hospital staff keep pace?
Building an infrastructure that assists nurses and allows them to treat patients 10x faster. Pneumatic tube systems can enhance efficiency in hospitals worldwide. The tube system works like a subway network. Delivering important goods throughout each section of the hospital. Delivery of lab samples, patient records, and cancer medication becomes 8x faster than if a human worker were to deliver by foot. Making it the most practical way of delivery. Clinical staff will swipe their badge to access the mainframe. The tube system can determine the fastest route, and staff can track each carrier with RFID tracking technology. Staff can also keep an eye on maintenance issues and will be able to troubleshoot with remote monitoring alerts. Pneumatic tube systems can handle 10k drug transactions or more a day.
The Pneumatic tube system is also built with cybersecurity in mind to keep documents as safe as possible while in transit. A 2024 survey reported that 67% of healthcare facilities worldwide were affected by ransomware. In China, cyberattacks rose 6% in 2025 compared to 2024. The American Hospital Dubai lost 450 million PHI records in 2025. Updating software and infrastructure in modern hospitals is key.
Installing a pneumatic tube system will aid in less hand to hand contact for clinical staff, helping to reduce germ spread. High-touch surfaces in facilities harbor 60 different types of bacteria. 18 different pathogens, like Enterococcus and Streptococcus. More than 80% of illnesses can be transmitted through hand contact, luckily with the tube system, pharmacies can transport 90% of their materials in a carrier, helping clinical staff and patients alike.
