This strategy, if validated, may develop established drug discovery methodologies and also can be helpful for assisted reproductive technology to avoid IVF failure with a remarkable reduction in investment of time and resources.
Thus the questionnaire can be used to provide a helpful and comprehensive instrument for assisting hospitals to assess their level of resilience at a regional or a district level in regard to disasters, and assist them in identifying areas for further strengthening their resilience capability through comparison with similar components of other hospitals.
