A fascinating look into what coronavirus looks like from one of Africa’s biggest cities: Nairobi, Kenya. Max and Nabil speak to a doctor from a major hospital and a security guard who lives in one of Africa’s biggest slums about what they’re seeing – and what must be done.
This is the latest episode of the EQUALS #InequalityVirus mini-series. This one’s from the front-lines of coronavirus.
How does it feel to be a doctor right now in a major hospital in Africa? What could still be done to help healthcare workers on the frontline in the face of this crisis?
And how are communities in slums in Africa’s biggest cities experiencing this current crisis? What could alleviate some of the economic challenges people are facing right now?
