Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Confronting the COVID-19 epidemic forced the closure or relocation of the majority of health facilities. It is likely that non-COVID-19 patients suffered collateral effects.
METHODS: The clinic and operating room records were analyzed at selected Palestinian government hospitals in the West Bank region.
RESULTS: The reduction in patient clinic visits varied from 49% to 90%, with Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), urology, and pediatric clinics being the most affected. The reduction in operation numbers in the center (which had independent decision-making) ranged from 7.1% to 23.4%, but in the north and south (which followed centralized choices), the reduction ranged from 19.6% to 91.8%.
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 affected outpatient visits. The pandemic affected some services, but West Bank hospitals were able to provide normal obstetric and gynecological treatments and help patients who needed primary or intermediate surgery.

摘要：
背景：面对COVID-19疫情，大多数医疗机构被迫关闭或搬迁。非COVID-19患者可能会受到附带影响。
方法：分析了西岸地区部分巴勒斯坦政府医院的诊所和手术室记录。
结果：患者就诊次数减少了49％至90％，耳鼻喉（ENT），泌尿科,儿科诊所受影响最大。该中心（具有独立决策）的运营数量减少了7.1％至23.4％，但是在北方和南方(遵循集中选择)，下降幅度为19.6%至91.8%。
结论：COVID-19影响门诊就诊。大流行影响了一些服务，但西岸医院能够提供正常的产科和妇科治疗，并帮助需要初级或中级手术的患者。
