Abstract

“All major population-based screening programs will shortly grind to an unseemly halt.”
If this had been the title of a WEO Screening Committee meeting presentation in October 2019, it would have been described as sensationalist, an exaggeration, perhaps even fiction. However, in the context of the impact that the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had on endoscopic services over the last months, it can no longer be dismissed. But will we be prepared for the next pandemic? Will lessons have been learned?
