Abstract

Introduction: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has a significant impact on global health systems, not only in terms of the number of people infected with the disease, but also in terms of patients with other diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the measures taken to combat it, such as complete lockdown, has a significant impact on health seeking behaviour and the health care-delivery system. Studies have shown that while COVID-19 confirmed cases have gradually increased, visits to hospitals for non-COVID infections have steadily decreased. Concerns are arising about the potential harmful impact of COVID-19 response strategies on the management of other medical disorders.
