ABSTRACT

Women's Health Centers (WHC) have evolved over the last few decades as comprehensive centers for women's health care. This article reviews the history and evaluation of WHC, as well as opportunities for women's health training. Prior studies comparing WHC with traditional primary care and obstetrics/gynecology clinics have found that WHC offer at least similar levels of preventative care, may increase access to care for a more diverse patient population, and improve patient/provider relationship satisfaction. WHC also increase women's health providers' education and research opportunities. There is still a gap in women's health education and training, although residency and fellowship programs have aimed to address this through women's health tracks and fellowships. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its negative impact on women's access to care have further highlighted the potential of WHC to meet women's health care demands. WHC can provide comprehensive, convenient, and single-site care for women. The increased opportunities for women's health training through WHC give rise to more representation in leadership and investment in women's health. New research is needed to reassess and further evaluate health outcomes of WHC compared with traditional care models.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to report the experience of a health team in restructuring service at a mastology outpatient clinic. METHODS: an experience report in a public university service mastology outpatient in Ceará between March and April 2020. Service in this outpatient clinic is exclusively for women and who have breast changes for surgical treatments ranging from nodulectomies to mastectomies with oncoplastic. RESULTS: increased COVID-19 cases brought the need to restructure healthcare services. The following steps were followed: identification of scheduled patients, reading of clinical developments in electronic medical records, individual assessment to define whether or not appointment would remain, telephone contact to inform about unscheduling. Among the 555 consultations scheduled for March and April 2020, 316 (56.9%) were maintained. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: restructuring consultations at a mastology outpatient clinic optimized the waiting time for consultations and avoided crowds at service, providing patient safety.

ABSTRACT

The way in which gynaecology services are provided in the UK has drastically changed within a short space of time due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Gynaecologists are not considered front-line staff in the treatment of the novel coronavirus unlike our intensive care or accident and emergency colleagues. However, the impact this is having on those with chronic problems is significant, and the morbidity associated with missed malignancies could be problematic. This article summarises the strategies developed at King's College Hospital to remodel services to best provide optimum treatment to patients in this new era.

ABSTRACT

Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic many problems have emerged in the organization of the National Health Systems. In Italy, a very serious problem is emerging which needs a rapid solution. Italian women are finding increasingly difficult to access abortion. These difficulties are related to the organizational changes that have occurred in many hospitals due to the emergency COVID-19. A possible solution would be to resort to the procedure of pharmacological abortion which, however, in Italy, is characterized by many limitations imposed by law. To protect the right to health of all women will need a reorganization of abortion procedures in Italy with implementation of telehealth services.

ABSTRACT

Crises, emergencies and times of unrest have been linked to increased interpersonal violence, including violence against women. Following the declaration of alarm status and quarantine, different measures have been implemented to mitigate the possible effect of gender violence (Contingency Plan against Gender-Based Violence in Coronavirus Crisis or Royal Decree Law on Emergency Measures). This document reviews the measures adopted so far by the government of Spain, the autonomous governments and the initiatives formulated in different countries. In the absence of concrete economic measures to date, and the scenario of economic uncertainty, we conclude that it is not possible to prevent gender-based violence in a comprehensive way, without considering the increase in unemployment, temporary and instability employment, economic dependency or the overload of household chores and reproductive tasks, among other elements that facilitate it.
