The Coronavirus Pandemic: Ethical Challenges in Global Public Health Vicini, Andrea 2022 Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics , Vol. 42 , Issue 1 , S. 35 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 1540-7942 | 2326-2176 Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is critically analyzed as a social magnifying glass that exacerbates pre-existing unjust situations and contexts—locally, nationally, and internationally. Hence, to reflect ethically on the multiple challenges, which people face during this crisis, requires to address the social and political determinants of health. The essay articulates a systemic approach that examines, first, unjust structural dimensions (i.e., poverty, gender, and racism); and second, local and global practices in healthcare, with privileged attention given to structural dynamics, professionals, decisions, and institutional leadership. As a result, the ethics of global public health stresses how health is a shared, interconnected, and inclusive good that should be carefully protected and urgently promoted.
