COVID-19 has stressed healthcare systems across the globe. We present the experience of an intern medical officer working in a tertiary care hospital during the first wave of the pandemic in Sri Lanka. Her narrative describes how the stress of the pandemic brought into sharp focus the strengths and weaknesses in the health system. We suggest some strategies to improve our health services as the world faces the second wave and an uncertain future. These include structural changes in healthcare services at institutional and national levels, focused educational programmes for healthcare professionals to impart generic skills of disaster management, and the development of telehealth services and computerisation of health systems. We believe that we must maintain this focus to ensure that our patients can be guaranteed quality healthcare in the future.

The social responsibility of companies has an increasingly important role in their relationship with the environment, regardless of the object of activity. Green procurement plays an important role in achieving these objectives. Department of Engineering and Management of Technological Systems Drobeta Turnu - Severin organizes or participates periodically in meetings with employers or collaborators, in order to identify new educational requirements regarding the competencies and abilities of graduates. It was thus found that qualified personnel are needed in making green procurement. In order to meet this requirement, our department aims to form specialists in the field of green procurement. The introduction of the new syllabus in the master's degree programs requires the completion of research steps to strengthen the curriculum by diversifying professional and transversal skills, in accordance with the generic skills of the study program.
