“…It is noteworthy that, with an appropriate review in distinct fields of health, it is possible to outline different real situations, such as the situation after one year of Covid-19 (Garcia et al 2021), understanding the payment for ecosystem services and associated challenges (Giri et al 2022), or the impact of stress on the fertility of cattle (Chawicha and Mummed 2022). Thus, with a literature review of a significant metric such as DEA in Latin America, it is possible to present points already addressed and others subject to exploration.…”

The pursuit of enhanced efficiency in healthcare organizations prompts the need for reevaluating performance evaluation methodologies and implementing organizational improvement models. In this regard, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) emerges as a valuable tool for gauging the efficiency and performance of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) within specific interest groups, particularly within the healthcare sector. Nonetheless, a comprehensive DEA survey specifically focused on the Latin American healthcare domain remains absent. Recognizing the significance of identifying existing approaches and devising novel ones, the present study aims to analyze a systematic review made of papers that use DEA as an approach for efficiency analysis Latin America's health sector. The methodology encompasses three distinct stages. Firstly, an extensive literature search was performed, initially employing relevant keywords and subsequently exploring the reference sections of identified papers. Secondly, a meticulous examination of the selected papers was conducted, entailing both a descriptive analysis of the findings and an individual evaluation of each paper. Lastly, based on the identified research gaps, proposals for DEA applications were formulated. A total of 65 studies were identified and subjected to scrutiny, shedding light on their limitations and revealing diverse methodologies employed in examining the healthcare sector. The findings indicate the potential for further exploration of this subject, including the integration of DEA with complementary tools in other Latin American countries and different facets of the healthcare domain. Future research should build upon the insights provided by the existing literature, thereby introducing innovative approaches and contributing to the advancement of academic knowledge in this field.

“…The Delta variant is approximately 50% more contagious than the Alpha variant and almost twice as contagious as the original Wuhan virus strain (Dagan et al 2021). The catastrophic spread of this variant has led to a second massive wave of ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Garcia et al (2021) positive cases in India and UK, and has spread to at least 92 countries in recent months (Rosa-Aquino 2021;Starr et al 2021).…”

“…In this context, with this case report, we aim to explore the arrival of the Delta variant in Cape Verde, an African country with 10 islands and approximately 500,000 people (Country 2021). The country notified the first case of COVID-19 on March 19, 2020, and since then has been dealing with fluctuations in the number of cases and all the problems that this pandemic has also brought to other places in the world (Garcia et al 2021). On August 11, 2021 (Ministério de Saúde 2021), the country notified the first sequenced case of the Delta variant (Ministério de Saúde 2021).…”

Since March 2020, we have been living in a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19 disease. The emergence of new variants and strains of SARS-CoV-2 virus, in particular the Delta variant in October 2020, sparked a new alert for the scientific community, given its high efficiency in replication and transmissibility, as well as its relationship to more serious symptoms, which contribute to the increase of hospitalization and mortality rates, particularly in African countries. In this case report, we explored the arrival of the Delta variant in Cape Verde, an African middle-income country, in August 2021, and analyzed its possible effects on increased notification of new cases and mortality rates in the country, as well as the health system's responsiveness to the new variant. This is particularly relevant given the country's lack of infrastructure for the screening and surveillance of new variants, which, therefore, influence the adoption of new mitigation and control measures for COVID-19 prevention, particularly in this period of flexibilization of the most COVID-19 restrictive measures (i.e. social distance), return of tourism and schools activities in the country.
