ABSTRACT

The emergence of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global public health emergency and the pandemic has forced the healthcare givers to organise their work differently to provide the same level of care to their patients. Meticulous planning and implementation of robust infection control, proper triage of patients, patient education and awareness and establishment of good command structure has become the norm. In this article we illustrate how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the oncology department in a tertiary centre in the Caribbean country of Antigua & Barbuda. We describe the changes in treatment decisions for outpatient and inpatient services along with a look at the ethical considerations and the well-being of the oncology team.
