Özet

The outburst of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread and rapidly reached every country and territories across the globe in a short space of time. Several surveys on the socio-economic impact of the disease on vulnerable communities as well as the epidemiological projections and patterns of the disease spread have been generously discussed. Some existing studies have also raised the alarm over the possibility of COVID-19 devastation in Africa. This study sought to assess how Horn of African countries are confronting the COVID-19 outbreak. We have analyzed comparable statistics across the Horn of African Countries to understand how their less-developed healthcare systems are confronting the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, we have examined the individual country’s specific responses to the crisis and their healthcare system’s preparedness for the ongoing pandemic. Using data from the World Bank, World Health Organization and other regional and international organizations, we have analyzed the capacity of the health systems in these countries as well as the government response during the pandemic. The paper finds that although these countries have historically experienced different levels of healthcare constraints which are further worsened by the threat of coronavirus, varying individual country responses were implemented to bolster healthcare system. The paper concludes beyond the question of a country’s healthcare system; other factors continue to influence the spread of the virus.

Abstract

Ani ortaya çıkan yeni coronavirus hastalığı (Covid-19), tüm dünyada hızla yayılarak kısa sürede tüm ülkelere ve bölgelere ulaştı. Hastalığın, duyarlı gruplara olan sosyo ekonomik etkileri ve epidemiyolojik projeksiyonlar, hastalığın yayılma paterni tartışıldı. Mevcut bazı çalışmalar Covid-19’un Afrikayı tahrip edebileceği olasılığı konusunda alarma yol açmıştır.Bu çalışmada Covid-19 salgınında Afrika Boynuzu Ülkelerinin ne ile karşılaşacakları değerlendirildi. Bu makalede “Afrika Boynuzu” ülkelerinin, az gelişmiş sağlık sistemleri ile covid-19 salgınında karşılaştıkları durumun anlaşılması için bu ülkelerin kıyaslanabilir istatistikleri analiz edilmiştir. İlaveten devam eden pandemi ile ilgili olarak her bir ülkenin sağlık sisteminin salgına, krize hazırlık durumu da incelenmiştir. Seçilen ülkelerin kıyaslanabilir bazı istatistiklerinde, Dünya Bankası, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve diğer ilgili kuruluşların web sayfaları kaynak olarak kullanılmıştır. Ülkelerin devam eden coronavirus salgınına bağlı sağlık sistemleri ile ilgili farklı düzeyde güçlükleri ve salgına yanıtları olmuş, bazı ülkeler sağlık sistemine uygulamalarla destek sağlamıştır.
