Abstract:
The impact of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been profound and global. Mitigating future waves and overcoming the pandemic is a global public health priority. This review focuses on future developments in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, which may help to address these challenges. The specific relevance to women's and maternal health, which address the vulnerabilities in this group, is considered. The remarkable scientific achievements that have been made with respect to the development and implementation of both vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19 are highlighted. The speed and processes for the development, approval and implementation of interventions herald a new way forward in combating emerging infectious diseases. However, it is important to note that this is a rapidly changing field with a constantly evolving knowledge base.
