COVID – 19, Gitahi (Amref Africa): Let’s Not Allow the Virus to Stay with Us For Long

“As the pandemic continues and as we discuss a global health and socioeconomic recovery, we must also remember that the COVID pandemic could become endemic and could stay with us a long time,” said Dr. Githinji Gitahi, Global CEO of Amref Health Africa and one of the leading experts in public health in Africa, in an overview of last year marked by new realities and fears, new outlooks for the future and the need for unprecedented global solidarity. “I would also like to stress that there is hope,” he continued referring to the production and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines underway. “there has been a global movement to ensure that every country has access to them. And Amref is offering all the services it has, such as Amref Flying Doctors, the leading supplier of air ambulance services in Africa, in order to achieve this.”
