Abstract
The aim was to investigate the impact of the difficulty in supplying hospital supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was an integrative literature review with a qualitative approach. The articles were collected from the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences and the National Library of Medicine, available in the Virtual Health Library. Fourteen articles addressing the shortage of healthcare products during the COVID-19 pandemic were selected for analysis. Among the 14 articles, four answered the guiding question: "What difficulties were encountered during the pandemic that led to disruptions in the supply of hospital supplies?" There is a need to formulate an action plan for future emergency situations, such as ensuring transparent communication with the population to reduce panic, limiting the purchase of essential supplies to ensure everyone has access, and developing other strategies to ensure future preparedness.
