“…The pandemic has highlighted that the healthcare system needs crucial improvements and the areas where the most are required in order to successfully face a health crisis in the future. Furthermore, it also illustrated the importance of both reacting rapidly and considering specific sociocultural aspects in the context of an epidemic [99,100]. Thus, adequate health policies are absolutely necessary, and for this, one of the most important issues is awareness from both the population and governments.…”

Often, global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, bring to light crucial weaknesses in political, economic, social and health systems. First, there are governments who formulate and implement policies and, second, there are the citizens who support them, thus contributing a great deal to their success. Our paper investigates the European citizens’ opinion on health policy, focusing on their preference for European health policy during the coronavirus pandemic. The paper uses bibliometric analysis, descriptive statistics, and logistic regression to discuss the public opinion on health policy, the factors of influence, the change in perspectives between 2020 and 2021, and the socio-demographic profile of those favorable for the development of a European health policy in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Our findings show that citizens from southern and central European countries are more likely to prioritize the development of a European health policy, as compared to Nordic countries. Between 2020 and 2021, pro-European health policy citizens profile changes and becomes clearer, from pensioners to young working age males with medium education. In general, people prioritizing a European health policy value health as the most important issue at a national level are generally satisfied with the European Union and do not trust their national government.

“…The main issue is the background questions addressed by (a) the graduates, regarding professional career and high quality of medical services that are able to be performed, and (b) by the less developed countries’ policymakers on net benefits from a changing employment model for the graduates in order to increase motivation for returning after specialization abroad or to continue a residency training stage and after that have a job in their native country. The problem is more complex and difficult for less developed countries, especially after the “COVID-19 experience” [ 32 , 33 ], when all the countries of the world realized the value of financing excellent medical services [ 34 ], but also for incoming graduates, from the point of view of changing their perception towards expectations vs opportunities. In this work, we set out to identify the significant change, or not, in the perception of future graduates regarding their professional career and further training through professional specialization.…”

The phenomenon of migration among medical personnel from less developed countries is a large one, with negative effects on the origin country, but more worrying is graduates’ propensity to migrate during or immediately after university studies. The analysis of the labor market in the health sector from the last two decades shows us greater attractiveness of employment in (more) economically developed states compared to the demand from the health sector in graduates’ origin countries. This research’s purpose is to identify the determinants of the propensity to study and work abroad of medical students as a defined factor for better employment, and to identify the push factors in the origin country. As a result of the dichotomous nature of the dependent variables, logistic regression was applied. The independent variables (gender, residence, medical specialization, grades and perceived economic status) were used to identify the odds of the intention to migrate for studies. The results highlighted a higher propensity to migrate for studies among medical students, with opportunities offered by universities differing across countries and geographical areas. Moreover, students with a lower level of household income have openness to migrate, the tuition fees being managed through part-time/temporary employment during studies.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic, identified as a biopsychosocial global crisis, had far-reaching consequences and harms. Globally, stagnation and decline in the healthcare system’s economic growth and optimal functioning are immediate consequences of this crisis [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Purpose This study aimed to explore the challenges of access to treatment and quality of life in female cancer survivors living in rural areas of Iran within the global pandemic context (COVID-19). Methods We conducted a qualitative exploratory study where we recruited nine female-identifying individuals diagnosed with cancer, 23 family members, and five healthcare providers from a hospital affiliated with the Birjand University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s reflective thematic analysis. Results The three themes constructed were lack of strength from fighting on two fronts (subthemes: (i) fear related to longevity and life span, (ii) disruption of emotional relationships and family functioning, (iii) loneliness and fear of the future, (iv) village culture and double whammy, and (v) isolation and rejection in a rural community); changes during treatment (subthemes: (i) confusion related to treatment and (ii) the hope found during treatment “bottlenecks”); and spiritual growth and clarifying values (subthemes: (i) patience and resilience and (ii) clarifying life values and opportunities when facing uncertainty about the future). Conclusion This study highlights the importance of further evaluating interventions to mitigate barriers to supportive care for female cancer survivors living in rural areas with low-resource contexts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
