- Life expectancy remained stable in all Asian Pacific countries between 2019 and in 2020, while it decreased by almost one year in lower-middle- and low-income countries between 2020 and 2021
- COVID-19 has disproportionately hit vulnerable populations
- The mental health impact of the pandemic has been enormous
- Disruptions of health services during the pandemic
- Generally decreased routine vaccination rates
- Cancer screening was disrupted in some countries in the Asia-Pacific region
- Delayed and missed care for chronic conditions has been associated with worse health outcomes
- Countries responded differently to the pandemic based on the pandemic situations and national capabilities and contexts.
- The rapid development of remote consultations has offset at least partly the reduction of in-person encounters with GPs and specialists
