Virtual book launch | Pandemics & Healthcare, Principles, Processes and Practice
Dear Doctor
Please find herewith your invitation to the virtual book launch: Pandemics & Healthcare, Principles, Processes and Practice. Please follow the link herewith to join the live stream on Thursday, 9 December 2021 at 5pm.
It became clear soon after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic, that not much was known about the management of pandemics in the current healthcare context. This topic had previously received little to no attention in health sciences and other training curricula. Accordingly, there was much uncertainty as to the management of infected patients, their families and communities at large.
This peer reviewed book brings together many of the lessons learnt from the outset of the SARS-CcV-2 outbreak in an attempt to equip pandemic planning and prevention programs as we move into the future. The book has brought together experts in medicine, health care, social sciences, health economics, ethics and the law to share their experiences and directions as we reposition ourselves into the years to follow. It has been edited by eminent leaders in their disciplines such as Prof Ames Dhai, member of the Academy of Science South Africa and Founder and Past Director of the Steve Biko Centre for Bioethics at the Wits Faculty of Health Sciences; Prof Daynia Ballot, current head of School of Clinical Medicine at Wits University and a neonatologist with a special interest in neonatal Research in the country; and also Prof Martin Veller, a vascular surgeon and Head of the Division of Vascular Surgery and President of the World Federation of Vascular Societies.
