A Post-COVID World: Implication for Health and Human Rights

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the world. It has exposed the strengths and weaknesses of health systems, as well as uncovered the best and worst in country responses. While there has been true leadership amidst chaos, there has also been a rise of authoritarianism, scientific denialism and rampant abuses and injustices. What have we learned from COVID-19 that will shape health and human rights efforts going forward?
