Vaccination policies in response to the ongoing pandemic are reinforcing globally the commodification of healthcare and furthering inequity. In the MENA region notably, vaccination campaigns are progressing slowly, with varying challenges, depending on each context.

Register now to our upcoming webinar “Decolonising Access to Health, Addressing Vaccine Inequity in MENA” which will be looking into challenges specific to local contexts, such as slow vaccination campaigns, difficulties in securing vaccine supplies, and challenges in the vaccination process.
