We're back with Fatima Al Sayah for Episode 183 of The Beirut Banyan.
We discuss the Lebanese state's response to the Covid-19 pandemic; public behavior that has changed since the novel coronavirus began spreading earlier this year; Lebanon's healthcare system and state institutions in dire need of reform; severe disconnect between policy papers and decision makers; Covid-19's impact on Lebanon's economic crisis; and contextual factors that matter when comparing different countries' experiences to the pandemic.
Fatima is a Public Health Researcher at the School of Public Health - University of Alberta. She is also a member of 'HealthNERDS'.
