In Sweden, following a large-scale cyberattack on the IT company Tietoevry almost three weeks ago, the electronic drug ordering system for the Uppsala hospital was suspended. As a result, Uppsala University Hospital has faced extreme difficulty in ordering medicines for the thoracic intensive care unit, which requires drugs for patients undergoing complex cardiovascular surgery.
