Thu, 2023-04-20 16:46 — mike kraft
The NIH has poured $1 billion into long Covid research — with little to show for it The federal government has burned through more than $1 billion to study long Covid, and there's basically nothing to show for it. Rachel Cohrs STAT

Lessons from Burkina Fasco: The role of civil society and community actors in COVID-19 prevention and control

Mon, 2023-04-10 22:03 — mike kraft
The role and contribution of civil society and community actors in COVID-19 prevention and control: the case of the COMVID COVID-19 movement in Burkina Faso Communities should play a crucial role in the fight against public health emergencies but ensuring their effective and sustained engagement remains a challenge in many countries. In this article, we describe the process of mobilising community actors to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 in Burkina Faso. During the early days of the pandemic, the national COVID-19 response plan called for the involvement of community actors, but no strategy had been defined for this purpose. The initiative to involve community actors in the fight against COVID-19 was taken, independently of the government, by 23 civil society organisations gathered through a platform called ‘Health Democracy and Citizen Involvement (DES-ICI)’.
