“…33 Prehospital triage protocols using mobile telestroke can facilitate in decision-making and transfer of patients requiring MT to comprehensive stroke centers, 34 while maintaining patients with minor strokes in smaller hospitals. 35 An interesting example of telemedicine is the Coronavirus SUS application in Brazil, 36 which utilizes a questionnaire to indicate a possible diagnosis of infection and need for referral.…”

For more than a year, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had a devastating effect on global health. High-, low-, and middle-income countries are struggling to cope with the spread of newer mutant strains of the virus. Delivery of acute stroke care remains a priority despite the pandemic. In order to maintain the time-dependent processes required to optimize delivery of intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy, most countries have reorganized infrastructure to optimize human resources and critical services. Low-and-middle income countries (LMIC) have strained medical resources at baseline and often face challenges in the delivery of stroke systems of care (SSOC). This position statement aims to produce pragmatic recommendations on methods to preserve the existing SSOC during COVID-19 in LMIC and propose best stroke practices that may be low cost but high impact and commonly shared across the world.

“…49 The situation was aggravated by the slow release of financial resources for the SUS, while the Federal Government prioritized economic issues: “This situation would be considered a scandal in any civilized country, because, during a pandemic, with cases and deaths growing exponentially for 16 weeks, the Ministry of Health keeps 67% of resources unused in the budget, without even being committed to something. It is not just about incompetence, it is a deliberate action not to spend, leaving the SUS and the Brazilian people to their own luck”, 62 p. 295).…”

2022

COVID-19 outbreak quickly spread to all corners of the globe. In Brazil, the outbreak was particularly frightening because it worsened existing health, political, economic, and social problems. The results already observed show the contagion ripple-spreading process across the country, causing the death of thousands of people each day and counting, added to a very serious wave of unemployment, scientific denial, and social precariousness. Based on this, this study reviews recent research that looked at the role of the government, the Brazilian health system, and the main economic and social impacts fostered by the pandemic. We perform a scoping review according to the PRISMA-ScR to structure the qualitative synthesis of the 67 associated documents. The results reinforce the negative effects of the country's mismanagement and its consequent impacts on the Brazilian economy and society. The battleground against COVID-19 has fueled political tensions, shaken the health system, and unleashed social despair tinged with thousands of deaths. Finally, in the present scoping review, we discuss concerns about the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak in Brazil and what the world hopes the country has learned from the current crisis.

“… 38 Were it not for this system, more than 13 million unemployed and 38 million informal Brazilian workers would not have access to healthcare. 39 In reality, the healthcare workforce is unevenly distributed across the country, with few if any in some areas, particularly rural and remote areas. 40 Mismanagement of public funds at the federal, state and municipal levels is one of several inefficiencies, and one of the main problems faced by the country’s public healthcare system 40 that has led to a decay in the SUS.…”
