COVID-19 Pandemic's Effect on Brazilian Head and Neck Surgery Facilities

Prince Tiwari

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic had a considerable impact on the healthcare access, treatment, and follow- up of oncologic cases. The end of this study was to estimate how the COVID-19 epidemic has affected discussion and follow- up demand as well as treatment volume at Brazilian Head and Neck Surgery centers. An anonymous online questionnaire was used for collection of data across all Brazilian Head and Neck Surgery Centers across a 3-month period (April‒June 2021). This information included the characteristics of each center, and the perceived tone- reported impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on academic conditioning, occupancy training, and the opinion, treatment, and follow- up of cases with Head and Neck diseases. The COVID-19 epidemic presents a new challenge to global healthcare, with further than 273 million verified cases and 5.3 million deaths worldwide as of December 20211. Brazil was one of the countries most affected by COVID-19, and came a center of the epidemic, with the third topmost number of cases and the alternate loftiest mortality rates in the world. In addition to the treatment and forestallment of COVID-19 transmission, healthcare systems are anticipated to deal with the burden assessed by habitual on-communicable conditions similar as cancer, with numerous cases chancing that their requirements were left unmet because of the epidemic.
