Countries around the world are facing an enormous challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pressure that the pandemic inflicts on health systems could certainly impact on the care, control, and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). From mid-January 2020, Ethiopia started to prepare for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. The Federal Ministry of Health pledged to continue essential healthcare, including NTD care, during this pandemic. However, some hospitals have been closed for other healthcare services and have been turned into isolation and treatment centers for COVID-19. In addition to the healthcare facility measures, all community-based health promotion and disease prevention services have been stopped. The current shift in attention towards COVID-19 is expected to have a negative impact on NTD prevention and care.
由于 COVID-19 大流行，世界各地的国家都面临着巨大的挑战。大流行给卫生系统带来的压力肯定会影响到被忽视的热带病（NTD）的护理、控制和消除。从 2020 年 1 月中旬开始，埃塞俄比亚开始为预防和治疗 COVID-19 做准备。联邦卫生部承诺在大流行期间继续提供基本医疗保健，包括 NTD 护理。然而，一些医院已经关闭了其他医疗服务，转而成为 COVID-19 的隔离和治疗中心。除了医疗机构措施外，所有以社区为基础的健康促进和疾病预防服务都已停止。目前对 COVID-19 的关注转移预计会对 NTD 的预防和护理产生负面影响。
