The covid-19, crisis and, Health, inequality. A reciprocal magnification effect in the Arab region
Abstract
This paper was first published as part of the Arab NGO Network's Arab Monitor report on the right to health. This paper showed that the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated inequality in income and health services among the population in Arab countries, entrenching the spiral of inequality, especially due to the close interrelation between health and socio-economic status. The pandemic has exposed structural contradictions in various aspects of economic and humanitarian development, in addition to the structural flaws and deficiencies that were prevalent in health and social protection systems before the outbreak of the pandemic. All of this has led to a decline in health parity and to widening marginalization and polarization in access to quality health care.
