The virus outbreak that began in China and has spread to more than 20 countries is stretching already strained public health systems and raises questions over whether everyone can get equal access to treatment.

Why did the U.S. government imposed a quarantine now for coronavirus, when no such mandate has been issued in over 50 years, despite routine outbreak of disease?“All countries are at risk and need to prepare for [the newly identified coronavirus]. Partners will prioritize countries with weak health systems and significant gaps in preparedness capacity for technical and operational support,” says the draft WHO plan for handling the outbreak.

“Our Thailand system is one of the best in the world,” Thanarak Plipat, deputy director-general of the Health Ministry’s Disease Control Department, said recently. But he added, “No country is prepared for a global pandemic.”Most people in China have at least rudimentary access to healthcare. The country has a tradition of community clinics dating to the days of “barefoot doctors.” But few have coverage for catastrophic illness.

The People’s Liberation Army deployed 1,400 doctors, nurses and other personnel to help staff the hospitals in the industrial hub, whose hospitals have been inundated while the city’s transport links were cut off to contain the spread of the disease.
