, INTRODUCTION
HEALTH
WHO: Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.
GLOBAL HEALTH
Global health is an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving
health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health emphasizes
transnational health issues, determinants, and solutions; involves many disciplines within
and beyond the health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a
synthesis of population-based prevention with individual-level clinical care.
COVID-19
> Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID19 disease.
> It is a respiratory infection
> Symptoms ranging from mild common cold-like illness to severe viral pneumonia with
potentially acute respiratory distress syndrome.
> Characteristics symptoms: fever, cough, dyspnea
> Complications of severe disease: multi-organ failure, septic shock, blood clots
HOW TO DETERMINE THE RISK TO DIE FROM A COVID-19 INFECTION?
> Case fatality rate (CFR): the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of
confirmed cases
> Crude mortality rate: dividing the number death from the disease by the total
population
> Infection fatality rate (IFR): the number of deaths from a disease divided by the total
number of cases. Estimations are around 1.04-1.3%.
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
> No drug or vaccine is currently proven to be effective in treating COVID-19.
Chloroquine
Remdesivir: inhibits RNA polymerase
POSSIBLE IMPACT LONG TERM
> Change in supply chains for pharmaceuticals and equipment
> More investments in infectious disease prevention and treatment
> Investments in preparedness to respond to emergencies
> Increase in inequities: poor and disadvantaged affected much more by the crisis and its
consequences
> Attention for the other global health problems?
