Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe issues, including loss of quality of life, negative economic impacts and, most of all, exposed weaknesses in health systems.

A major weakness was the inability to respond to population needs during a pandemic, especially vulnerable groups, as well as supporting the impacts on mental health and increase in poverty,

Research on how to redistribute high-quality healthcare to develop early diagnosis and treatment will be most welcome.

Also, new evidence on how to strengthen primary healthcare for the elderly, especially those with chronic diseases and those at risk of severe complications.

Efforts should be made to strengthen evidence on infection control and support and protect critical care workers and healthcare workers on the front lines of emergency, as well as on how to improve the training of human resources at the grassroots and the use of diagnostics technology at local level.

Evidence on successful processes of upgrading health data systems and the usage of digital data, smartphone applications for quarantine monitoring, robotic devices, and artificial intelligence to track the origin and spread of infections. spread and spread of the virus, should also be welcome..

Finally, we should appeal for further evidence on improving the effectiveness of vaccination and promote access to international cooperation, avoid barriers to the intellectual property transfer and intellectual property and approach multilateral licensing commitments,.

The Covid - 19 pandemic has brought great lessons and it is a lever for a profound change in the way we develop healthcare learning from a shared world perspective. In short, we should support the process of generating evidence on innovation for global healthcare improvements.
