Abstract

In recent decades, pandemics and health catastrophes have caused disorders in part of the population with quite diverse consequences (SARS in 2002-2003, Ebola in 2014- 2015) showing a tendency to create generalised fear in the population, stigmatisation of the sufferers and psychological effects in health-care staff themselves.
