ABSTRACT
Postcovid syndrome affects 5-20% of all patients with symp-tomatic Covid-I9 infection, resulting in temporary or perma-nent disability for next weeks or months. The commonest syn-dromes after long Covid-I9, (or chronic fatigue syndrome after Covid, or as synonymum postcovid syndrome) are psychic or psychosomatic disorders known under the name Depression and Anxiety Syndrome. After the unrest and armed conflicts during the Covid era, clients or patients, mainly migrants of war, are also exposed to chronic post trauma syndrome related to previous or recent de-struction of infrastructure, temporary homelesness and escape from affected regions/country. Cumulation of those 2 syndro-mes may have devastating consequences to both, individual health and economic losses due to permanent working and eco-nomy disabilities and consumption of health and social funds. After the unrest and armed conflicts during Covid era,clients or patients, mainly migrants of war, are also exposed to chronic post trauma syndrome related to previous or recent destruction of infrastructure, temporary homelesness and escape from af-fected regions/country.
ABSTRACT
Waves of COVID-19 have been managed successfully within US, EU, Southeast Asia and Latin America, however, South Asia and Sub-saharan Africa still suffer new variants and EU fights with UK and United States of ,,new waves of old disease", postcovide or long covide syndrome. The aim of this communication and research is to prepare our auditors for the size and extent of postcovid systems and the importance of non-doctors and non-medicine experts in management of its consequences.
ABSTRACT
Comparison of diagnoses of migrants and refugees arriving to Moria camps before and after a fire destroying the original sheltering facilities on Lesbos Island, after arrival of the first group of Covid-19 positive individuals;upheavals and unrest is discussed in this research pilot note. Change of the spectrum was caused by fire related psycho-trauma and absence of housing for a week, until complementary sheltering facilities were arranged.
ABSTRACT
During the first and second wave of Covid-19 pandemics, Balkan countries were among the least affected areas of Europe, especially those having islands as naturally protected quarantine environment (Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta), as well as countries with less tourism in Spring such as Montenegro, Albania, and Bulgaria. Therefore, the health care system was not overwhelmed by Covid-19 infected patients and was able to continue on normal outpatient and inpatient bases. This pilot population-based study in rural Albania shows only a low and temporary break of health and social services for just 1 month during the first wave, in April 2020.
