The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the Coronavirus (known also as COVID-19) continues thwarting the basic health services in 90% of countries around the world.
The UN organization warns that the second survey, it has conducted by its experts in various parts of the planet, revealed that 90% of the countries reported on breaking one or more of the basic health services after one year of the spreading of the deadly virus.
A report published today, Friday by the organization pointed out that despite the reduction of volume and dimension of disorders inside the countries in the summer of 2020, those countries indicated that an improvement took place in the three first months of 2021 as about a third of the basic health service were stopped only.
The WHO assured more than the countries that were consulted said that they appointed more additional health staffers to sustain the workforce in the public health sector and direct patients to other health facilities to receive treatment.
The report went on to say that most of the world countries converted to alternative methods to offer health care such as giving health home care and medical prescription for several months and
Telediagnosis.
About sixty-six of the countries linked ceasing in the health services to underemployment of trained medical crews which is the most common reason for breaking the services.
In about a third of the countries, the chain of delivering services and medical supplies is still at the bay which hampers providing medicines, diagnosis devices, and sets of personal preventive to offer health care in a safe and effective manner.
The WHO report recommends various countries of the world make important decisions in responding to confronting the COVID-19.
Countries should redeploy the health staffers to offer relief activities within the frame of fighting the deadly virus of COVID-19 as well as the partial closing of health facilities.
