Global Crohn’s Disease Treatment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the crohn’s disease treatment market. For instance, according to an article published by the British medical journal (BMJ) in 2020, a nationwide study of paediatric gastroenterology IBD centers in the U.K., detailing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and management of patients with IBD during the month of April 2020 was carried out. As per the study outcomes, COVID-19 had significantly impacted the pediatric endoscopy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the UK. Only two sites (10%) reported access to routine endoscopy for patients with IBD during April. Moreover, over 50% of children and young people presenting with a suspected diagnosis of IBD were diagnosed without a histological diagnosis due to restrictions placed on endoscopy at over 90% of centers across the U.K.
