Microsoft technical failure affects UK healthcare system, impacting medical treatment and prescription dispensing

A global large-scale network failure caused by technical issues at the cybersecurity company "Zhongji" has severely impacted the operations of airlines, banks, and media institutions in many places around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. This failure has also affected the healthcare systems of many countries, causing significant inconvenience to both medical staff and patients. Staff from the UK's public healthcare system, the National Health Service (NHS), have reported that most consultation rooms in UK hospitals have experienced varying degrees of issues, affecting patient consultations. Due to the impact of this large-scale network failure, the efficiency of doctor consultations has significantly decreased as patient appointment and record systems are on the brink of paralysis.
