We are devoting a new special program to the response to Covid-19 in sub-Saharan Africa.

Publicity

Raising awareness of the populations, strategies put in place to curb the spread of the pandemic, cooperation and mobilization of international health authorities… We also give a lot of space to answers to listeners' questions.

Awareness, prevention, management of suspected and proven cases of Covid-19… How are African countries preparing to face the epidemic?
