“… 2 Surveillance and rapid cycle research on the effects of pandemic response strategies can lead to reductions in transmission. Any human, material or financial support from the international community 1 could assist with conducting studies in LIMCs and thus contribute to overcoming this global pandemic. In addition to resource shortages in LMICs, individual know-how and organizational practices in publishing may be insufficient compared with HICs.…”

“…However, our results revealed that LIMCs have a lower capacity with which to disseminate internal situations concerning COVID-19 than HICs and quantitatively confirmed that LIMCs may be in need of support from the international community to conduct studies related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, as has been previously argued. 1 , 2 …”

“…The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread to almost all the countries of the world and efforts have been made to reduce transmission. Previous studies 1 , 2 analyzing the current COVID-19 pandemic situation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have pointed out that support from the international community to LMICs is needed in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak. One of the reasons why LMICs are in need of support is that a shortage of human, material and financial resources may prevent studies from being conducted in LMICs and evidence being accumulated 3 ; that is, there may be a difference in the number of articles about COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 between LMICs and high-income countries (HICs).…”

Background There may be a difference in the number of articles about COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 between low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs). Methods We analyzed authors’ affiliations from 36 432 articles related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2. We introduced logarithmic density and compared the number of articles and logarithmic density of LMICs with those of HICs. Results The number of articles and the logarithmic density of LMICs were lower than those of HICs (p<0.0001 for both). Conclusions There was a disparity in the number of articles related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 between LMICs and HICs.

Objective to identify the reasons that led to the judicialization of health care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; describe the outcomes of lawsuits concerning health care involving the COVID-19; and analyze the cases of health care judicialization intended to ensure the population’s right to health. Method qualitative, explanatory case study. Data were collected from the websites of the Federal Prosecution Service, Regional Labor Court (1st Region), and the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro. The inclusion criterion was public civil actions that concerned health care and situations involving the COVID-19 pandemic. Two categories emerged from data analysis. Results four cases were identified. Conclusion the judicialization of health care consists of obtaining assets and rights in the courts. These assets and rights are essential to ensure the health of citizens but have been denied in various instances, often due to the omission of the executive and legislative powers. Analyzing the judicialization of health care amidst the pandemic brings focus and highlights the importance of giving voice and visibility to the enormous contingent of the Brazilian society unassisted by public authorities.

“…Relying solely on national initiatives is not conducive to international cooperation. It is an urgent need for cross-border cooperation and assistance from the World Health Organization and other international organizations (Brugnara & Marx, 2021 ). For example, in the prevention and control of COVID-19, the WHO not only provides an important platform for countries to cooperate in combating the epidemic, but also assists less-developed countries to strengthen health capacity building and improve epidemic prevention and control capacity.…”

COVID-19 has caused huge losses to countries around the world, and it will not end in a short time. The lack of motivation for international joint prevention and control is one of the important reasons for the global pandemic of COVID-19. How to improve the efforts and level of international joint prevention and control has become an urgent problem to be solved. Considering the long-term and dynamic nature of international joint prevention and control, the differential game method is used to compare and analyze the optimal decisions of countries in the three scenarios of spontaneous governance, external subsidies and internal cost sharing. The results show that the optimal prevention and control efforts of countries are negatively correlated with discount rates, prevention and control cost coefficients, decay rate and risk factors. It is positively correlated with the impact degree of social benefits, the impact degree of prevention and control efforts on the level of joint prevention and control, the distribution ratio of social benefits, and the impact degree of prevention and control level on social benefits. The prevention and control efforts, joint prevention and control level, social benefits and system benefits under spontaneous governance are the lowest and highest under the internal cost sharing. The internal cost sharing will only be carried out when social benefits distribution ratio obtained reach a certain threshold. This study provides decision-making support for the joint prevention and control of countries to defeat COVID-19 under the normalization of the epidemic.
