No studies of fasting and risk of COVID-19 infection have been performed. Healthy people should be able to fast during this Ramadan as in previous years, while COVID-19 patients may consider religious licenses regarding breaking the fast in consultation with their doctors, as they would do with any other disease.
Dr. Humaid Al Shamsi, #Emirati Consultant #Oncologist at Al Zahra #Hospital #Dubai Publishes First #International #Research Paper on Managing #Cancer #Patients during #COVID – 19.
The research paper was carried out in collaboration with expert medical bodies from six countries including #China (Wuhan), #Taiwan, #Singapore, #Canada, #Kuwait, and the #UnitedStates. The research paper titled “ A medical approach to the management of cancer patients during the Novel Coronavirus #Disease 2019 (COVID 19 #Pandemic): An International Collaborative group” ranks as number one amongst all papers published by the Oncologist #Publication.
The study outlines that cancer patients have a higher risk of COVID 19 #infection and mortality rates. During the COVID – 19 pandemic, people fighting cancer are afraid and uncertain about the #treatment choices they need to make, relying heavily on their healthcare provider for clarity. The study aims to provide #healthcare experts with more in-depth knowledge of the best medical practices for managing Oncology #patients during the pandemic.
