GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES WITH CONFLICT ESCALATION AMONG PANDEMIC, CLIMATE, AND ECONOMIC CRISES

The current study presents facts indicating that the world can no longer withstand further injuries from war and conflict. The present unrest all over the world risks putting most of the countries into a crisis of health, economy, and social safety, which is the biggest threat to human civilization. Shockwaves have been felt all over the world as a result of war, inflation, food shortages, and the COVID-19 pandemic's long tail. Financial markets have been extremely volatile since the start of the conflict, and commodity markets are in disarray. War, conflicts, climate change, and pandemics are all contributing to the crisis's escalation, both directly and indirectly. All of these issues may endanger civilization by resulting in the loss of many basic healthcare facilities such as health system access, vaccination, poison control, coverage health insurance or co-payment policies, health vigilances and surveillances, monitoring of adverse drug reactions, telemedicine support, patient education or awareness programs, newer drug inventions, and allied technological advances and innovations. The security and safety of healthcare facilities, workers, and supply lines remain paramount concerns, along with access to health services, technology, and innovation. In a stable socio-political environment and sound economy, any of these facilities in countries or localities would take longer to develop and necessitate government and other allied authority support, IT innovation and protocol advancements, and public adherence to the health system. The current study represents both direct and indirect effects of armed conflicts on the global health system's sustainability, as well as other perceived or hidden damages caused by pandemics, climate change, and economic disasters. Surprisingly, each of these issues is linked to the other, which is also discussed.
