Championing health equity in South Africa
As the world commits to equitable access to medicines and vaccines, is this just on paper or a reality? In the case of COVID-19, as of early March 2022, 74% of those in high-income countries have been fully vaccinated, compared with just 11% of people in low-income countries. Can South Africa’s experience with tackling HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 point to future solutions for other low- and middle-income countries? How has intellectual property rights affected development of vaccines across Africa? In this episode, host Garry Aslanyan speaks with the following guests:
- Fatima Hassan - Human rights lawyer, activist and founder of the Health Justice Initiative
- Judit Rius Sanjuan - Policy Specialist, Health Technologies, Innovation and Access, UNDP
- Petro Terblanche - Managing Director, Afrigen Biologics
