Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide, particularly affecting patients with non-communicable diseases like hematological disorders. These patients are often immunocompromised and require continuous care, making it crucial to maintain service provision during health crises. The aim is to study the effectiveness and adaptability of various methods in organizing medical aid for hematological patients in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering the research and practical approaches from different regions of the world. Materials and methods: This study employs a literature review methodology, systematically analyzing scholarly articles from multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The articles were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on those published between 2020 and 2023 that discuss the organization of hematological care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: The results demonstrate a global consensus on the importance of adaptive strategies for managing hematological care amidst the pandemic. Telemedicine has been widely adopted, providing continuity of care, though challenges persist. Triage protocols were developed to prioritize vulnerable patients, and convalescent plasma therapy emerged as a promising treatment for high-risk groups. Personalized treatment strategies, considering individual risk assessments and the need to limit immunosuppressive effects, were also prevalent in the reviewed literature. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated novel, scientifically grounded approaches to organize effective hematological care. Despite the challenges, the healthcare community’s global efforts underscore the resilience and innovation in health systems. Insights drawn from this study can inform ongoing and future responses to health crises, thereby ensuring continuity and quality of care for hematological patients.
