Healthcare workers preparedness for COVID-19 pandemic in the occupied Palestinian territory: a cross-sectional survey 2020-05-13 .txt text/plain 2798 164 53 Sufficient training of healthcare workers (HCWs) in how to manage COVID-19 and the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) to enable them to do so will be key tools in allowing oPt to mount a credible response to the crisis. (4) Other LMICs in the Middle East and Africa have also reported scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPE) for front line healthcare workers (HCWs).(5, 6) We hypothesize that (HCWs) in the oPt are largely underprepared to address COVID-19 related needs of the Palestinian population in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The secondary outcome was to assess the differences between Gaza Strip and West Bank, and between governmental and non-governmental in oPt in terms of availability of PPE and HCWs preparedness to face the COVID-19 pandemic. ./cache/cord-311401-7ugqjg5c.txt ./txt/cord-311401-7ugqjg5c.txt
