CHAPTER F-3
COVID-19 and Africa: Does “One Size
Fit All” in Public Health Intervention?
Chidi Oguamanam*
Abstract
Taking into account the socio-economic, cultural, and political
dynamics of Africa, and drawing from a universe of publicly available
information, this chapter explores Africa’s experiences with selected
aspects of COVID-19 public health and associated response measures.
It aims, in part, to identify facets of the contextual dynamics of the con-
tinent that warrant creative and fit-for-context public health responses
outside of a one-size-fits-all milieu. Also, the chapter identifies and
reflects on some real and potential lessons and opportunities from the
COVID-19 experience on the African continent that could reposition
the continent and enhance its resilience in the face of the first global
pandemic in a globalized and technology-driven world order.
