The report demonstrates that the current system—at both national and international levels— was not adequate to protect people from COVID-19. The time it t...ook from the reporting of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown origin in mid-late December 2019 to a Public Health Emergency of International Concern being declared was too long. February 2020 was also a lost month when many more countries could have taken steps to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and forestall the global health, social, and economic catastrophe that continues its grip. The Panel finds that the system as it stands now is clearly unfit to prevent another novel and highly infectious pathogen, which could emerge at any time, from developing into a pandemic.

The total number of people living in internal displacement reached a record 55 million by the end of 2020. During a year marked by intense storms and persistent conflict, 40.5 million new displacements were triggered across... the world by disasters and violence, the highest annual figure recorded in a decade.

The study assessed medicines availability   and affordability, geographical accessibility, quality and r...ational use among other issues. The survey was conducted in six regions. In each region, 6 public health care facilities, 12 private pharmacies and 1 warehouse were surveyed.

вищим, ніж у більшості Європейських країн. За підрахунками в Україні щороку
перено...сить інсульт близько 130 000 людей; у 2020 році показник
внутрішньолікарняної смертності становив 19,76% усіх госпіталізованих з
інсультом пацієнтів; 30–40% усіх пацієнтів помирали протягом першого місяця
після перенесення інсульту; в цілому інсульт був причиною 13% усіх смертей в
Україні.
