The annual WHO Health Statistics Report says the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the ongoing decline in progress towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.
An analysis reveals that COVID-19’s toll may have been greatly underestimated, including in the Middle East, where epidemiological monitoring efforts have generally fallen short.
A new study estimates deaths caused by COVID are much higher than previously thought. The results help experts paint a clearer picture of the pandemic's wider global impact.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of excess mortality has been much greater than indicated by reported deaths due to COVID-19.
A peer-reviewed study published in the Lancet provides evidence that though reported COVID deaths in the first two years approached six million, excess deaths attributable to the pandemic were three-fold higher, at more than 18 million.
