Πολιτικές υγείας στη δημόσια υγεία σε εθνικό και παγκόσμιο επίπεδο εν όψει πανδημίας Covid-19

Abstract

The international spread of diseases has caused a huge blow to human life worldwide and the threat seems to continue with much greater intensity in the 21st century. Covid-19 disease is a severe acute respiratory infection caused by a type of virus first started by Wuhan, China in December 2019 and quickly spread around the world causing the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has already expanded rapidly and now concerns all countries on the planet with extremely infectious potential and often fatal consequences. The COVID-19 pandemic has disturbed health systems worldwide and most countries have not yet recovered from the direct effects of increased mortality and morbidity due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The global pandemic can affect the immunization program by leading to a reduction in economic, human and other resources, social instability, limiting the country's political attention and health priorities. Reducing vaccination coverage and refusing vaccination during the pandemic may adversely affect the spread of an imminent SARS-CoV-2. The need to define an integrated strategy that could include all entities to protect individuals and mitigate the impact of the epidemic is vital. The COVID-19 crisis is creating repercussions throughout the global and regional supply chain, disrupting demand and supply. In addition, social-distance policies have destroyed almost the service industries, such as travel and tourism and hospitality, which potentially cause a recession. International Economic Organizations tried to quantify the impact of COVID-19 and to incorporate their impact into their fully extensive forecasts of the global economy. The quantification of the impact, which is largely based on the simulation analysis, is surrounded by a high degree of uncertainty due to the unforeseen operation of factors such as the success of the containment measures and the possible occurrence of sequential outbreaks.
