The COVID-19 pandemic had an inequitable and disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, reversing decades of progress toward healthy populations poverty alleviation. This study examines various programmatic tools policy measures used by governments to support during the pandemic. A comparative case 15 countries representing all World Health Organization's regions offers a comprehensive picture with varying income statuses, health system arrangements public measures. Through systematic desk review key informant interviews, we report spectrum mitigation strategies deployed in these address five major types vulnerabilities (health, economic, social, institutional communicative). We found multitude that supported such as migrant workers, sex prisoners, older persons school-going children. Prioritising early phase vaccination campaigns, direct financial subsidies food assistance programmes were most common reported. Additionally, framing information implementing culturally sensitive promotion interventions helped bridge communication barriers certain instances. However, remain insufficient protect comprehensively. Our findings point need expand fiscal space for health, enlarge healthcare coverage, incorporate equity principles policies, leverage technology, multi-stakeholder co-production policies tailored community engagement mechanisms.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic made people face the fact that we are all vulnerable. This vulnerability can be measured through Basic Variables of Care (BVC) using Vulnerability Index (CVI). Health systems work with indicators nurses consult to understand care and health situation their population. These provide valuable information on Objective: determine level community a population group from computerized clinical records Primary Care. Methods: observational, retrospective study March 2023 January 2024, sample 2106 assigned nurse at Meco Centre (Madrid, Spain). Phases: selection dashboard indicators, linkage BVC, score assignment, adjustment calculation CVI. Results: selects 18 out 376 included in Specific Dashboard; each indicator is related 6 10 BCVs, different rank values. Each adjusted by Correction Factor according number indicator. Finally, population-adjusted CVI scores 1.95 points (percentile 37.90). Conclusions: an essential tool diagnostics reflect given time, including changes crises such as pandemic.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the way sustainable built environment—encompassing buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures—is designed, managed, utilized, as societal responses to may have contributed shifts in priorities practices these areas. Research predominantly focused on pandemic’s impacts enhancing resilience of environment its role supporting health protocols, such reducing transmission risks. However, a critical gap persists understanding evolving relationship between various stages environment. Accordingly, this systematic literature review (SLR) aims explore major themes trends identify gaps existing studies. authors employed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method systematically search four databases English-language journal articles published 2020 2023. A total 331 were analyzed using descriptive thematic methods. findings reveal that research shifted during different pandemic, with particular attention given key areas environment: healthy outdoor spaces, urban green spaces (UGS); energy efficiency planning; mobility transportation. This SLR contributes advancing risk reduction strategies address intricate interdependencies emergencies long-term sustainability imperatives
