PHM-SA held a webinar on 26th June to explore the challenges facing Civil Society in ensuring equity and justice in Access to new Health Technologies for COVID-19.
The webinar had two inputs. Yousuf Veriawa from UKZN mapped the Intellectual Property (IP) environment in South Africa and the important policy challenges and changes needed to ensure that the regulatory framework promoted the right of access to needed technologies. KM Gopakumar from the Third World Network sketched the global context for health technologies as a public good, identifying some of the key challenges with respect to global governance if we want to see new health technologies equitably distributed. Tracey Naledi from Tekano, a health equity NGO, then responded, outlining what she saw as the key challenge facing civil society in South Africa in working to ensure equity in access to future technologies.
