| dc.description.abstract | Africa experienced the third wave of the coronavirus disease in 2019, which caused
an 18% rise in cases in most parts of the continent. As of January 2022, the region
had an estimated 10.4 million cumulative cases and more than 233,000 deaths,
which add up to the burden on the fragile healthcare system, which continues to
face a shortage of staff and resources. In addition, the progression of the pandemic
further threatens the supply of healthcare workers in Africa due to the increased risk
of infection and death, where more than 10,000 healthcare workers in 40 countries
have been infected with the virus. This is amid low vaccination coverage, with only
27% of healthcare workers in Africa being fully vaccinated against the disease. | en_US |
