ABSTRACT
An interview with Fatima Hassan, a South-African human rights lawyer and founder of the Health Justice Initiative, is presented. Among other things, Hassan discusses how the African continent has positioned itself in the fight for access to vaccines, considering a context of global inequality highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the main challenges to the proposal led by South Africa and India for a temporary patent waiver for COVID technologies such as vaccines and drugs to address health emergencies such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to highlight the systemic problem of inequality that the pandemic and the protectionism surrounding vaccines have exposed.
