COVID-19 and global health: Influences and implications for education and training support in low- and middle-income countries

The past 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic have changed nearly all aspects of medical care in countries around the world and this includes education and training. This has major foreseeable and unforeseeable implications for medical and healthcare training, especially in lowand middle-income countries (LMICs) already challenged by poorly resourced health systems. Australia and New Zealand, via the tripartite support of Fellows and members of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, the Australian Society of Anaesthetists and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists and also via the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists, have a long history of anaesthesia training, education and support to the Pacific Island Countries, Federated States of Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, parts of Southeast Asia, Mongolia and some African nations. However, existing programmes, support and initiatives are all on hold while we wait to see what happens next with the pandemic as it evolves in different regions and countries.
