The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has been spreading
worldwide at an alarming rate. Health-care workers have been confronted with the
challenge of not only treating patients with the virus, but also managing the
disruption of health-care services caused by COVID-19. In anticipation of
outbreak, clinic sessions and operation theater lists have been actively cut back
since February 2020 to reduce hospital admissions and clinic attendances. This
has severely disrupted health-care services, leading to accumulating clinic
caseload and substantial delays for operations. The head and neck cancer service
has been faced with the difficult task of managing the balance between infection
risk to health-care providers and the risk of disease progression from prolonged
waiting times. We share our experience in Hong Kong on the mitigation of head and
neck cancer service disruption through telehealth and multi-institution
collaboration.
