Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate global COVID-19 infections and deaths among healthcare workers during the early pandemic phase, utilizing systematic reviews and comprehensive searches of literature until May 2020.
- A total of 152,888 infections and 1,413 deaths among healthcare workers were reported, with notable differences in gender and job roles: most infections were in women and nurses, while most deaths were among men and doctors.
- The findings highlighted that while Europe had the highest absolute numbers, the Eastern Mediterranean region had the highest death rate per infection, indicating a need for further investigation into the reasons for these variations, especially in high-risk specialties and lower reported rates in regions like Africa and India.
