Dear HIFA colleagues,
Our thanks to HIFA Literature Search expert John Eyers who has run searches on Medline and Embase for papers relating to Essential Health Services and COVID-19:
https://www.hifa.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdf/HIFA-Medline-E...
30 papers were identified up to 23 November 2020 and their titles are shown below.
I note from these titles that only some of them relate to the impact of COVID-19 on essential health services. I suspect this reflects the challenge of running a search strategy on this topic that will be both sensitive and specific.
To comment on any paper, please email the HIFA forum: hifa@hifaforums.org
