Impact of Covid-19 on the Italian and American Healthcare Systems

Abstract

This report aims to examine and assess the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the healthcare systems of the United States of America and Italy; two of the most heavily affected nations. Using data from December 2019 to January 2021, several consultations, and policy reviews, we identify risks and notable areas of issue in each nations’ approach to combating the virus. We focus our report particularly on the health policies and the governmental structures in place that contributed to each nations’ initial method of alleviating the impact of COVID-19. Our report compares the two healthcare systems and proposes a list of mitigation strategies for each respective country to consider implementing in order to alleviate the risks and impact of future pandemics and systemic consequences.
