ARE WE COPING WITH COVID-19 IN SOUTH AFRICA AND AFRICA?

Exploring controversies surrounding diagnostic testing; an examination of Ghana’s management of COVID-19; health and safety issues; up-to-date evidence for treatment options; and how we can guide the ongoing pandemic using behavioural science, this webinar is aimed at being succinct yet information-rich, will end with a Q&A session where the panellists will respond to submitted questions.
