    Covid-19 Infection, Illness and Deaths Among Healthcare Workers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review Protocol
    (Plos, 2021-09-27) Ocan, Moses; Kawala, Brenda Allen; Semakula, Daniel; Obuku, Ekwaro Anthony
    Globally, health care workers continue to be infected, fall ill and die at the frontline of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) fight, an indicator of inadequate safety in health facilities. This rapid evidence synthesis aims to highlight the impacts of COVID-19 on healthcare workers in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) in terms of infections, illnesses and deaths. A systematic review will be done. Article search will be performed by an experienced librarian in PubMed, MEDLINE Ovid, Google Scholar, COVID-END, Cochrane library and targeted search from other relevant sources. MeSH terms and Boolean operators “AND” and “OR” will be used in the article search. Independent reviewers will screen the retrieved articles using a priori criteria. Data abstraction will be done using an excel based abstraction tool and synthesized using structured narratives and summary of findings tables.
