Five Minutes in Healthcare is a new series we've introduced in HealthCare Business News, where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders, as well as innovative thinkers who are working to meet the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the last week I have had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Berndt Schmit, Chad Fowlkes and Mike Pringle. Each interview is approximately five minutes long, or a few minutes over five.

We discuss the unique needs of different locations, a rural mobile outreach breast cancer screening program in Bolivia, and the over-arching challenges in keeping legacy equipment operational in places with limited resources.

In this installment, I check in with my old friend and industry veteran, Mike Pringle, about the state of the coronavirus in the UK and some of the long term consequences he anticipates from the pandemic.
