Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: COVID-19 has caused immeasurable and untold social, political, economic, and emotional suffering around the globe. It has pushed millions of people into extreme poverty and has brought devastating and everlasting impact on the already fragile health system around world. It has accentuated inequalities as was witnessed in vaccine distribution between global South and global North. The study process consisted of a desk study of available documentation on Covid 19. The main findings indicate that the world should embrace the fact that COVID-19 is here to stay, we need to learn and prepare how to live with it. Many countries that have struggled should learn from countries that have managed the pandemic well. In East Africa, Rwanda has done a tremendous job in curbing the impact of COVID-19 and may be worth emulating by African countries.
