Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the global population in drastic ways and redefining the global health scenario. If the resources are diverted to manageCOVID-19, patients with other life-limiting conditions such as cancer can be pushed out of their healthcare settings with reduced access to healthcare. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic on cancer patients, health systems should focus on the strategies how to strengthen palliative care services.
