This comprehensive collection delves into a diverse range of thematic and regional case studies, utilizing the right to health as a normative framework to examine the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Drawing insights from across the continent, the book explores the challenges faced by African states in ensuring the availability, accessibility, and quality of healthcare amidst the ongoing crisis. In particular, it delves into the devastating consequences of the pandemic on vulnerable and marginalized groups, including women, children, elderly individuals with disabilities, refugees, and asylum seekers, as well as individuals from disadvantaged communities.
Due to inadequate funding of healthcare systems in many African countries, these groups faced limited access to health-related services, resulting in avoidable COVID-19-related deaths due to shortages of vital supplies such as diagnostic tests, ventilators, and oxygen. The volume also examines the contentious issues surrounding vaccine mandates, equity, resource allocation, and the rights of healthcare providers during the pandemic.
This collection holds significant value for students of public health, human rights, and the social sciences, as well as academics and policymakers with a keen interest in the intersection of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health policy in Africa. By examining the experiences and challenges faced by different regions and populations, the book provides valuable insights into the urgent need for comprehensive and equitable healthcare systems, as well as the role of policymakers and stakeholders in addressing the ongoing crisis.
