The results of these responses indicate that, with the growing possibility of a reconsideration of so-called COVID-19 financial aids, such as those paid to medical institutions that have secured beds for COVID-19, there is an increasing need for each hospital to plan in detail how it will achieve a surplus through the development of this plan and other measures.
