Lessons From Disruptions Of Non-COVID-19 Health Care In Latin America

Pedro Bernal Lara of the American Development Bank and his team of coauthors examine the effects of non-COVID-19-related health service disruption on public health ([link removed] ) in four Latin American countries: Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.

The researchers find a 28 percent decline in public hospitalization rates and an increase of 15 percent in mortality rates for conditions amenable to health care (CAH) relative to the prepandemic year.

They determine that 89 percent of the increase in mortality for CAH was attributable to disruptions in care for noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Based on these findings, Bernal Lara and coauthors recommend that going forward countries should develop more resilient systems through preparedness and systematic adaptation.
