But the differences are only superficial. At its heart, our response to COVID-19 has been no different from our other medical projects.
We focus on those places where the highest numbers of people are falling sick and dying, and we look for the most vulnerable people.
During the pandemic, this approach has seen us setting up medical projects in places where we rarely work, such as the US and several countries in Europe.
It has seen us helping groups of people we don’t often help, such as residents of care homes. But our medical reasoning has not changed.
