Abstract
In the context of the increase in COVID-19 cases in the Region of the Americas, along with the high circulation of other respiratory viruses, there has been an observed increase in the burden on healthcare systems and services. In this respect, the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) recommends Member States to take measures to adequately prepare health services to cope with a high influx of patients, including maintaining supplies, effectively managing patients and resources, and mitigate absenteeism by protecting healthcare workers' health.
