Postponed treatments and pandemic impact 

SBI contributors

Project description

While the COVID-19 pandemic has lost public attention, concerns remain about its lasting impact on people’s health, due to postponement of medical treatments and preventive checkups during the pandemic. This is particularly problematic for the older population, who have a greater need for regular healthcare. SHARE researchers are investigating the medium-term consequences of neglected healthcare on health outcomes.
