Ensuring accelerated accessibility and affordability of treatment services for COVID-19 patients in Zimbabwe : an urgent call to action
Timely access to quality healthcare services is a basic
human right. Governments globally have a responsibility to ensure
wider coverage and access, particularly to essential and lifesaving
healthcare services. For these reasons, there has been a strong call
for universal health coverage. Private medical insurance promotes
inequalities in accessing care, perpetuated by ever-widening
socioeconomic gaps. In resource-constrained settings, the lower and
more vulnerable social classes suffer more from disparities during
crisis times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
