COVID-19 Outbreak in the World

The world is facing the huge and unexpected challenge of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Countries around the world have had to quickly adjust and respond to curb transmission of the virus and to deliver care for those infected. The stress that the pandemic is placing on health systems could certainly have an impact on the control, care, and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), especially in resource-limited settings where health systems already struggle to meet the demand of their population. The morbidity management and disability prevention of some NTDs like cutaneous leishmaniasis, leprosy, and deep fungal infections are available only in specialized centers. Most hospitals have had a significant decrease in their patient load since the second week of March. For example, the only leprosy center in the Amhara region and center of care for a range of skin NTDs was closed to serve as a dedicated COVID-19 treatment center. In this center, more than 25,000 patients with skin disorders are seen annually and nearly one fifth are patients with skin NTDs.
