The cyber-attack on NHS systems in London will take many months to resolve, a senior NHS source has warned. It is unclear how long it will take for the services to get back to normal, but it is likely to take many months, the official said.
Six NHS trusts and scores of GP practices in south-east London have been struggling since Russian hackers rendered the IT system of Synnovis unusable.
The ransomware attack by the Russian Qilin criminal gang caused chaos, leading to cancellations of non-urgent operations, including procedures for cancer, and forcing trusts to ration blood tests.
Experts like Ciaran Martin agree that recovery from these disruptive ransomware attacks can take weeks or even months, indicating a prolonged period of disruption for the NHS systems.
