This open access book discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various aspects of life
on a global scale. It analyzes the challenges in the healthcare system during the second wave
of COVID-19  such as overstressed human resources in tertiary facilities  lack of trained
healthcare workers  and inadequate infrastructure at secondary-level facilities. The book shows

countries. It presents how the pandemic drove economies into recession and offers a roadmap to
advance equality of access to and sustainability of resources. It studies the impact of
prolonged lockdowns  which resulted in emotional and mental unrest. It provides a global
perspective on the role of the media  including social media  during the pandemic. The authors
discuss the unprecedented rise in suicides and the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable groups
such as asylum seekers and adolescents. In addition  contributing authors cover country
experiences with COVID-19 in the UK  Taiwan  Ethiopia  Iran  India  and Brazil. The book's
multidisciplinary approach makes it an interesting read for academics  policymakers  program
implementers  and researchers in sociology  media studies  and medical experts.
