In a bid to secure regional capacity to respond to subsequent waves of Covid-19 and future pandemics, a panel of health experts has decided to establish an African Pandemic Preparedness and Response Authority (APPRA) and Fund.

On therapeutics, Ramaphosa said the team, through the Africa CDC, are intensifying efforts to close the oxygen capacity gap by targeting areas of need while engaging oxygen manufacturers.

A close collaboration with the partnership on vaccine manufacturing has been established under the auspices of the AU through the Africa CDC, Ramaphosa said. It will also anticipate and provide guidelines to mitigate against the pitfalls of a manufacturing boom, he said. Ramaphosa said as a key component, the experts will establish an evidence-based framework for enhancing accessibility to sexual and reproductive health services, which were deleteriously affected by the pressures of Covid-19.

Conversations related to Covid-19 on social media driven by conspiracy theories and vaccine hesitancyFringe conspiracy theorists still continue to drive a significant amount of anti-vaccination rhetoric, followed by posts on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine scepticism. What is a conspiracy theory? Is it anything not reported by mainstream media? It’s not hesitancy, it’s straight out REFUSAL. Stop undermining our intelligence.
