Emergency Medicine Grant for COVID-19 Research on Effective Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines in Impoverished Areas
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
During the writing of this research proposal, COVID-19 has rapidly deteriorated into a second wave, distressing health systems in each affected country. COVID-19 determines the need for healthcare in a large number of people in an extremely short time and, like a giant wave, overruns emergency, infectious diseases, and pneumology departments as well as intensive care units, choking healthcare services. Rehabilitation services are also affected by this epidemic which forces radical changes both in the organization and in the operating methods. In the absence of adequate reference literature on this issue and recent treatments and vaccine efficacies, this proposal aims to provide a background documentation to support physicians and healthcare teams involved in recovery and rehabilitation care. The Global outcome of Pandemic can be improved with better understanding of COVID-19 treatment in impoverished areas because these areas treat patients with limited resources yet have better patient recovery outcomes than the United States. By examining the outpatient care, specifically of Grenada, West Indies, and Australia, in comparison to several US based Hospitals, many insights could be recovered from post analysis. Grenada is made up of 82.4% Afro-Grenadian 13.3% Mixed 2.2% Indian, which offers perfect proving ground for new treatment, vaccines in a relatively isolated population of African origin patients of lower income with relatively strict adherence to Government Health policy, prevention and enforcement of health protocols. Please join the effort to fight this Pandemic by helping edit our research proposal.
