Abstract

The current pandemic due to COVID 19 (SARS COV2) has revealed a disturbing reality most of the world's health systems, and the organizations that govern health policies at a global level, have not been able to meet the expectations that were set on them. On the one hand, W.H.O has shown hesitations, orders, counter-orders, delays and errors that have made it lose credibility. The terrible images of corpses piled up in the corridors of healthcare centers (from underdeveloped countries to the most powerful ones in the planet); will remain forever in our memory. The enormous financial effort made was not always well targeted, and rarely benefited the patients. The cost / benefit ratio was inverted, contributing fortunes in the final monitoring of severe cases, when logic indicates that emphasis should be placed on not reaching severe stages, and must be solved earlier. In this article, we establish a comparison between what is done and what - in our opinion - should be done.
