“…Historically, major systemic shocks, such as political conflict [97,98], economic collapse [99,100], and natural disasters [100][101][102][103] have worsened health inequities, disproportionately impacted vulnerable populations, and shaped HIV trajectories. The current COVID-19 pandemic is an important example of a global, systemic shock.…”

Purpose of ReviewTo review the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its public health response on key populations at risk of HIV infection, with a focus on sex workers. Recent Findings Since last year several groups have documented how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the livelihoods and health of sex workers. We focus on case studies from Kenya, Ukraine, and India and place these in the broader global context of sex worker communities, drawing on common themes that span geographies. Summary COVID-19-associated lockdowns have significantly disrupted sex work, leading to economic and health challenges for sex workers, ranging from HIV-related services to mental health and exposure to violence. Several adaptations have been undertaken by sex workers and frontline workers, including migration, a move to mobile services, and struggling to find economic supports. Strengthening community-based responses for future pandemics and other shocks is critical to safeguard the health of marginalized populations.

“…19 Most published data about the status of Venezuelan migrant health has related to the infectious disease burden, where an increase in the incidence of previously controlled illnesses including Zika, chikungunya, Chagas disease, measles, and diphtheria have been reported. 17,[20][21][22][23] However, the impact on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and maternal and child health is less clear. Globally, NCDs accounted for over 38 million deaths (62%) in 2012 with 80% occurring in low-and middle-income countries.…”

BackgroundMigration of Venezuelan citizens to other South American countries has increased in recent years. While the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of infectious diseases in Venezuelan migrants across South America appears to be well described, the non-communicable disease (NCD) and maternal and child health needs in this population is less clear. A scoping review of existing peer-reviewed primary research and grey literature describing the epidemiology of NCDs and maternal and child health needs in Venezuelan migrants in major South American host countries was performed in order to highlight important gaps in knowledge. MethodsA scoping review was performed of peer-reviewed research and grey literature for NCD and maternal and child health needs among Venezuelan migrants living in the following host South American countries with greater than 100,000 migrants: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. A total of 47 electronic databases were searched for primary research published between 2017 and 2020 in either English or Spanish. ResultsOut of 1,098 initial articles retrieved, 17 records met inclusion criteria, with the majority identified from the grey literature. Most studies were published in 2019 and most were either primary reports published by non-governmental organizations within the grey literature search or cross-sectional qualitative studies. Studies came from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, with three records offering a regional perspective. Most studies provided broad data on NCDs and maternal and child health needs but lacked granular statistics. Our analysis found the rate of chronic disease among Venezuelan migrants to range from 9-14% within countries who reported this data. Significant rates of psychiatric conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder were reported. Other conditions described were ophthalmologic diseases, diabetes, chronic pain, asthma, cough, dyslipidemia, hypertension, arthritis, malnutrition, and obstetric complications, although exact statistics were limited. Obstacles to care included lack of healthcare access and affordability. ConclusionsExisting reports discuss important needs related to NCDs and maternal and child health in Venezuelan migrants in South American countries, but there are significant gaps in knowledge. Further research must describe in greater detail the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of NCDs and maternal and child health needs in Venezuelan migrants in

“…Medical care and health spending generally increase faster than general inflation (Goss, 2022). Also, rising inflation is associated with infant mortality rise (Bao et al, 2022); child and maternal health compromise (Cader & Perera, 2011); hospital labor expenses per patient (American Hospital Association, 2022); depression, anxiety, frustration and stress (Guerra et al, 2022); cost burdens of chronic illnesses (Jung et al, 2022); less access to assisted-living and independentliving facilities for the elderly population (Ansberry, 2022); low-income households to compromise food quality (Jimenez Rincon et al, 2022); decline insurance coverage (Chernew & Keenan, 2005); worsening clinical labor shortage, lack of potential educators and high turnover (Fleron et al, 2022); lack of clinically necessary pharmaceuticals and supplies, as well as the accessibility of insecticides necessary to control vector-borne disease (Claborn, 2020), are just a few examples of such problems (Figure 8). 5.…”

Aim: Shockwaves have been felt all over the world as a result of war, inflation, food shortages, and the COVID-19 pandemic's long tail. The aim of the study is to correlate present global conflicts, pandemic and socio-economic crises with present healthcare sustainability, identifying possible threats and visualize future global health crises if all these catastrophes persist for long. Materials and Methods: PubMed, ALTAVISTA, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Registers were prioritized to collect public health issues. Results: The global economic slowdown, sharp decline in financial asset values, decline in imports and exports, contraction of industrial production, rise in inflation, decrease in wages, rise in unemployment, damage to the social security caused by numerous natural calamities, human displacement due to pandemic and ongoing conflicts tear down not only the economic sector but also the health sector. It is already late for taking corrective measure by the participation every country, community or intelligence. Only healthcare issues, highlighted in this study, if focused in the highest platforms, could compel global leaders to forego conflicts and work together. Conclusion: The global health sector will be collapsed soon, if proper initiatives are not taken right now, which has already been grossly mistreated by the pandemic.
