Global Avascular Necrosis Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one such sector, which has been majorly impacted by the pandemic. When a person gets infected with COVID-19, there is an initial phase where the virus replicates and grows in the body. This is followed by inflammation, so steroids are administered to lower this inflammation. Due to prolong and excessive use of steroids, many patients are experiencing problems such as avascular necrosis (AVN).

The use of steroids to treat COVID-19 patients has led to avascular necrosis (AVN) or bone death. According to a news article published by The News Minute, in July 2021, 10-15 avascular necrosis patients have been treated per month in Apollo Hospitals, India. The high number of patients are those who were detected tested positive to coronavirus.

Thus, the impact of COVID-19 will drive the global avascular necrosis market over the forecast period.
