Healthcare system overwhelmed during peak tourist season in island destinations

Public health infrastructure in tourist-dependent regions like Kefalonia becomes dangerously strained during high-season tourism, with limited medical resources stretched across both local residents and influxes of tourists. Hospital staff, emergency services, and healthcare facilities lack capacity planning solutions to handle the seasonal surge, leading to delayed care, patient safety risks, and burnout. Current systems fail to dynamically allocate resources or predict demand spikes tied to tourism patterns.
