The COVID-19 Health Services Disruption Survey 2020 is a series of surveys developed to assess the level of disruption to a range of health services resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic and subsequent government mandates and changes in behavior to mitigate the spread of the disease.

This survey was conducted in 76 countries using the smartphone-based Premise data collection platform.
