INTRODUCTION: Increasing prevalence of neurologic disorders with an aging global population and limited availability of neurologists may lead to worse patient outcomes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth services surged, and despite

Vaccine rollouts have been underway to combat the COVID-19 pandemic globally. Based on ongoing interviews with ten primary care physicians 'in the field', this paper elucidates how in practice the vaccinations were carried out in Japan in 2021 from a

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been repurposed and used for the treatment of COVID-19 patients; however, its efficacy remains controversial, maybe partly due to the dosage, ranging from 200 to 800 mg/day, reported in different studies. Indeed, HCQ low

The role of health practitioner regulation in ensuring patient safety is well recognized. Less recognized is the role of regulation in addressing broader health system priorities. These goals include managing the costs, capacities and distribution of
