Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Market
The advent of Covid-19 had a decelerating effect on most industries, and the entire healthcare sector was under massive pressure. Amidst the crisis, the leading players in the Global Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Market witnessed various challenges when healthcare priorities shifted to addressing Covid-19 cases.
Since the pandemic was severe and growing exponentially worldwide, governments of different countries imposed lockdowns and stringent movement restrictions. Across the healthcare sector, the doctors could only see critical patients at hospitals & address the non-critical ones remotely using digital platforms like video calls.
On the other hand, governments also put a temporary hold on various research & development activities associated with the CRC and made a paradigm shift in developing cures & vaccines for coronavirus. However, with the gradual decline in Covid-19 cases, restrictions were uplifted, which, in turn, led to the resumption of R&D activities associated with developing advanced drugs for CRC treatment, along with an increasing number of CRC patients visiting hospitals.
