COVID-19 Pandemic at a Glance: A Comparative Analysis of Health Systems

Innovation & Education

May 21 2020 - 15:00 - 16:00

Topic Description:

Health systems are overwhelmed when the demand for care exceeds any possibility of providing that care equally to all. In addition to a large number of deaths from COVID-19, the pandemic will place a load on health system resources well beyond the current capacity of hospitals to manage, especially for ICU care and ventilator use. Detailed assessments of mortality patterns represent a critical input that enables health systems to target interventions to specific populations. Monitoring levels and trends in mortality is vital to understand how health systems can inform the development and implementation of strategies to mitigate this gap.
