40% increase over several months is a complete fail in regards of what's actually needed in current situation. Which means this approach does not work efficiently.
I don't know if another approach could be more efficient.
How could you build more units from a single certified factory, respecting all the requirement imposed by the certification process?
Maybe this should have been done many years ago, when the WHO advised every country to prepare for a pandemic but most countries did not.
Build a lot of ventilators, a lot of intensive care units, increase spending on medical staff, pay them more so they will not study here (in public universities, funded with taxpayer's money) than leave the country for better paying places.
In Milan they were capable of buliding a new hospital in less than two weeks, but it is not fully used.
There are not enought doctors and nurses, even with the help of professionals that came from Albania , Russia and other eastern countries.
Now the situation (at least here in Italy) seems to be better.
When this will end, a lot of things must be changed, and not only in Italy...
