Abstract:

Objective: to map the structural, nonstructural and functional vulnerabilities of healthcare facilities to the pandemic of COVID-19. Methods: a scoping review based on JBI recommendations and structured by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Repositories and databases were consulted: PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, EMBASE, SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science, as well as gray literature. The protocol was registered in Open Science Framework. Results: 54 studies were included, summarizing 36 vulnerabilities among the three categories, in 29 countries. Functional and non-structural vulnerabilities were the most recurrent. Limited material and human resources, disruption of services and non-COVID procedures, and insufficient professional training were the most impacting items. Conclusion: COVID-19 exposed nations to the need to strengthen health systems to ensure their resilience to future health crises. Actions of prospective risk management and systematized analysis of health facilities vulnerabilities are necessary to ensure greater safety, sustainability and improved standard of preparedness and response to events of this nature.
