en-us	Previous outbreaks have demonstrated that when health systems are overwhelmed, deaths due to vaccine-preventable and treatable conditions increase dramatically.

en-us	Even though we're in the midst of a crisis, essential health services must continue.

en-us	Babies are still being born, vaccines must still be delivered, and people still need life-saving treatment for a range of other diseases.

en-us	WHO has published guidelines to help countries balance the demands of responding directly to COVID-19, while maintaining essential health services.

en-us	This is a life-saving instruction manual to deal with the surge of cases that some countries are facing right now.

en-us	These facilities will also have longer-term benefits for health systems once the current crisis is over.
