Changing the way people work requires innovative approaches and questioning some long-held medical practices. There are multiple factors contributing to the apparent reduced utilization of healthcare services to non–COVID-19 patients. The current world crisis is highlighting the need of re-engineering the way we deliver inpatient and outpatient health care, including bolstering social support, in order to be prepared when the next calamity will present itself.Item Coronavirus Disease Mortality: Understanding Regional Differences(Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine, 2022) Rigamonti, Daniele; Leonardi, Roberto; Al-Tawfiq, Jaffar A.; Medicine, School of MedicineSince the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the world has struggled to contain it and deal with the in-creasing number of deaths.
