Abstract

Abstract This article discusses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on health systems and its effects on the working conditions and mental health of health professionals and invisible health workers. It presents data on deaths among health professionals, highlighting the need for better and safer working conditions and improvements in public management. We emphasize WHO/PAHO recommendations and the need for equitable vaccine distribution, including poor countries and vulnerable populations. We also highlight the impacts of interrupting essential health services, such as the treatment of chronic conditions and infectious disease prevention, and the damage caused by the dissemination of fake news, stressing the need to improve access to correct and safe health information.
