Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a greater impact on transplantation in lower-income countries, independent of the COVID-19 burden. These countries may need more effort to rebuild disrupted services and recover from the pandemic, even if their COVID-19 burden was low.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the lived experience of UK GPs during COVID-19 and the pandemic's impact on their psychological well-being. The research found that most GPs experienced psychological distress and burnout, with causes including personal risk, workload, practice changes, public perceptions, leadership, team working, and personal challenges. These factors may have a negative impact on workforce retention and quality of care, emphasizing the need for urgent policy measures.

Summary: This study highlights that the size of COVID-19 outbreaks in nursing homes is associated with their ratings and governance features. For-profit nursing homes have significantly larger outbreaks compared to non-profit counterparts, and higher ratings in CMS-reported health inspections are linked to lower number of infections among staff and residents.

Summary: The objectives of this study were to explore people's experiences of illness due to COVID-19 while feeling socially isolated or isolating, identify perceptions of what would support recovery, and generate recommendations for supporting people after COVID-19. A two-stage, multimethod cross-sectional study was conducted, involving an international online survey, tweetchats, focus groups, and interviews. The findings highlighted the significant impact of fatigue and various symptoms on COVID-19 patients. The recommendations emphasized the need for progressive and specialized support, as well as addressing barriers to accessing support to prevent health inequalities. Multidisciplinary collaboration and involving the affected individuals in decision making were crucial.

Summary: COVID-19 was initially seen as a unique challenge, but it shares similarities with common infectious respiratory diseases. Response measures should now be tailored to different risk profiles, combined with upstream prevention, early treatment, and health system consolidation.

Summary: This study investigated the hesitancy of undocumented migrants towards COVID-19 vaccination in the early phase of the vaccination campaign in healthcare facilities in the USA, Switzerland, Italy, and France. The results showed that while most participants perceived accessibility to the COVID-19 vaccination to be high, the actual demand was low.

Summary: This study examines the variation in sales of sexual and reproductive health products in pharmacies in Kenya using administrative data, taking advantage of the natural variation in the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying policy restrictions. The results show a negative association between COVID-19 deaths and sales quantity, an increase in sales price, and a decrease in revenues per pharmacy per week. The changes in sales quantity and price vary among different SRH products.

Summary: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ +) individuals face bias in healthcare, leading to poorer health status and avoidance of medical services. The Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) acknowledges the existing physical and mental health inequities among LGBTQ+ communities and aims to improve LGBTQ+ patient health through structural changes at the policy level and individual provider actions.

Summary: The study found that the practice patterns and infrastructure of doctors have a significant impact on the use of telehealth. Larger medical practices and appropriate infrastructure are favorable for doctors to conduct video consultations. Policy-wise, infrastructure support and differential pricing of consultation modes can be useful in encouraging doctors to provide care through the most appropriate method.

Summary: Internists need to pay attention to the complex interactions between COVID-19, environmental factors, and socio-economic disparities. They must also address the burden of non-communicable diseases and adopt a one-health approach to effectively manage the pandemic.

Summary: This article highlights the limited scope of health security discourse largely confined within the traditional Westphalian notion of protecting nation states; it points out the lack of emphasis on non-traditional threats like infectious diseases in national security strategies of some G-20 countries; it emphasizes the need to adopt the human security paradigm advocated by the United Nations to broaden the concept of health security and address transnational security threats through collective action.

Key policies included international travel ban, school closures, cancellation of public events, mandatory face coverings, and testing for symptomatic individuals. Supportive interventions focused on risk communication, community engagement, access to water and sanitation, nutrition, and social-cash transfers for vulnerable households.
