THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE HEALTH OF DISADVANTAGED GROUPS

Öz

In this review, attention was drawn to the health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on disadvantaged groups. COVID-19, which emerged as an infection in China, has spread all over the world and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many deaths worldwide. Those most affected by the effects of the pandemic have been vulnerable groups such as minority groups, people with disabilities, the elderly, women and children. The social, political, economic, etc. factors that these groups were exposed to before the pandemic. inequalities have led to the neglect of their needs and their inability to receive adequate health care during the epidemic. Studies have revealed the short and long term negative effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on these groups. Considering the inequalities that vulnerable groups are exposed to, planning interventions sensitive to the differences of these groups is very important in preventing the negative effects of the epidemic.
