The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Palestinian Patients Attending Selected Governmental Hospitals : An Analysis of Hospital Records
INTRODUCTION: Confronting the COVID-19 epidemic forced the closure or relocation of the majority of health facilities. It is likely that non-COVID-19 patients suffered collateral effects.
METHODS: The clinic and operating room records were analyzed at selected Palestinian government hospitals in the West Bank region.
RESULTS: The reduction in patient clinic visits varied from 49% to 90%, with Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), urology, and pediatric clinics being the most affected. The reduction in operation numbers in the center (which had independent decision-making) ranged from 7.1% to 23.4%, but in the north and south (which followed centralized choices), the reduction ranged from 19.6% to 91.8%.
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 affected outpatient visits. The pandemic affected some services, but West Bank hospitals were able to provide normal obstetric and gynecological treatments and help patients who needed primary or intermediate surgery.
