Beginning in March 2020, to reduce COVID-19 transmission, the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief supporting voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services was delayed in 15 sub-Saharan African countries. We reviewed performance indicators to compare the number of VMMCs performed in 2020 with those performed in previous years. In all countries, the annual number of VMMCs performed decreased 32.5% (from 3,898,960 in 2019 to 2,631,951 in 2020). That reduction is largely attributed to national and local COVID-19 mitigation measures instituted by ministries of health. Overall, 66.7% of the VMMC global annual target was met in 2020, compared with 102.0% in 2019. Countries were not uniformly affected; South Africa achieved only 30.7% of its annual target in 2020, but Rwanda achieved 123.0%. Continued disruption to the VMMC program may lead to reduced circumcision coverage and potentially increased HIV-susceptible populations. Strategies for modifying VMMC services provide lessons for adapting healthcare systems during a global pandemic.
自 2020 年 3 月以来,为了降低 COVID-19 的传播风险,美国总统艾滋病紧急救援计划支持的自愿男性包皮环切服务在 15 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家被推迟。我们审查了绩效指标,以比较 2020 年与前几年实施的包皮环切术数量。在所有国家,每年实施的包皮环切术数量减少了 32.5%(从 2019 年的 3898960 例减少到 2020 年的 2631951 例)。这种减少主要归因于各国卫生部实施的国家和地方 COVID-19 缓解措施。总体而言,2020 年全球包皮环切术年度目标的完成率为 66.7%,而 2019 年为 102.0%。并非所有国家都受到同等影响;南非在 2020 年仅完成了年度目标的 30.7%,而卢旺达则完成了 123.0%。包皮环切服务的持续中断可能导致包皮环切覆盖率降低,并可能增加 HIV 易感人群。修改包皮环切服务的策略为在全球大流行期间调整医疗保健系统提供了经验。
