Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on routine antenatal urine iodine screening program in Indochina
Öz
The healthcare sector has been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The prevention of COVID-19 infections was given priority, and personnel and resources for the healthcare industry were reassigned. How the COVID-19 pandemic might impact common screening practices in public healthcare is an intriguing subject. Prior studies have amply demonstrated the value of regular cancer screening and cervical cancer screening1-2. Alternative cancer screening methods are used in addition to the standard public health laboratory tests in different parts of the world, depending on the problem that is present at that area.
