| dc.description.abstract | Extract: The COVID-19 pandemic has left indelible marks on the global landscape, disrupting lives, economies, and health systems. The immediate, visible consequences of the pandemic include overwhelmed healthcare systems, with hospitals stretched beyond capacity, leading to delayed care and strained resources¹,². Staggering mortality rates became a grim hallmark as COVID-19 claimed millions of lives worldwide. Economically, global lockdowns disrupted supply chains, shuttered businesses, and caused massive job losses, plunging countless families into financial insecurity³. The urgency of vaccine development and distribution brought hope and highlighted disparities in access, underscoring systemic inequities between high- and low-income countries. While these visible effects dominated public discourse, they represent only part of the pandemic’s multifaceted impact. A significant portion of its impact remains hidden beneath the surface. These invisible damages, often overshadowed by immediate crises, have profound implications for public health and societal resilience. Understanding these hidden consequences is essential to formulating effective recovery strategies and building resilience against future crises. Addressing both visible and invisible impacts is crucial for constructing a comprehensive narrative of the pandemic’s effects and implementing holistic solutions. | eng |
