          155-country survey shows severe disruption to services for noncommunicable diseases


          WHO has released a May 2020 survey, which charts the impact of COVID-19 on prevention and treatment services for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), since the pandemic began.

          More than half (53%) of the countries surveyed have partially or completely disrupted services for hypertension treatment; 49% for treatment for diabetes and diabetes-related complications; 42% for cancer treatment, and 31% for cardiovascular emergencies.

          Rehabilitation services have been disrupted in almost two-thirds (63%) of countries, even though rehabilitation is key to a healthy recovery following severe illness from COVID-19.

          In the majority (94%) of countries responding, ministry of health staff working in the area of NCDs were partially or fully reassigned to support COVID-19.

          Among the countries reporting service disruptions, globally 58% of countries are now using telemedicine (advice by telephone or online means) to replace in-person consultations; in low-income countries this figure is 42%.

                    Welcome to the wonderful world of the 'independent' Western mainstream media. Incidentally, none of the usual suspects Reuters, AFP, AP, Guardian, Telegraph, Independent, New York Times, Washington Post etc etc who were more than happy to quote Kong Tsung-gan in their news reports about Hong Kong has said anything yet. Neither has our own local English media.

                    Yeap. There was no foreign influence involved in the Hong Kong riots at all. :roll:
