Summary

The wide spread of COVID-19 has had significant and negative effects on human well-being, but it has also had a negative impact on many important diseases. It has necessitated a major reorganisation of emergency care facilities to accommodate the additional workload anticipated with the rapid surge in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Previous reports have demonstrated a reduction in admissions for different conditions such as acute coronary syndrome or decreased use of coronary procedures in various countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an increase in out-of-hospital deaths and long-term complications of myocardial infarction and missed opportunities to offer secondary prevention treatment for patients with coronary heart disease.In this context, we do not know what impacts these events may have had on psychology and sexuality. In fact, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has significantly impacted people’s sexual desire and behaviours.Besides these events, the daily activities of many departments have been drastically reduced and limited to non‐deferrable procedures, and the entire organogram has been reorganised following a rigorous flowchart in order to limit the impact of the COVID‐19 emergency on residents’ learning curves.In this Special Issue, we further the knowledge on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global diseases and human well-being.
