Özet
Uganda, ortalama yaşı 16.7 genç nüfusu olmasına rağmen (world meters, 2020), Uganda halkı COVID-19 pandemisinden daha, zayıf sağlık hizmeti altyapısı ve düşük klinisyen-nüfus oranları, oldukça sınırlı laboratuvar kapasitesi, yetersiz beslenme, anemi, HIV / AIDS, tüberküloz ve hava kirliliğine bağlı kronik solunum rahatsızlıkları gibi altta yatan koşullar nedeniyle kötü etkilenmiştir.Bu makalenin amacı Uganda’daki COVID-19 mücadelesinde karşlaştığı sistemsel zorlukları ortaya koymaktır.
