Hospitals implement several strategies to ensure backup power availability:
Generators: Most hospitals are equipped with generators that can take over in the event of a power failure. These generators are usually powered by diesel or natural gas and are capable of supplying power for several hours or even days. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS):UPS systems provide immediate, short-term power to bridge the gap between power failure and generator activation. Battery Backup: Critical devices often have built-in battery backup systems to ensure they remain operational during power transitions.
