Title Decolonising medical causality in the COVID-19 pandemic
 
Creator Visser, Adele
 
Subject Bioethics COVID-19; causality; communitarianism; African philosophy; decolonisation
Description The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has irrevocably changed every aspect of social, medical and economic life globally. Although our traditional Western consideration of the underlying causes have led to massive strides in prevention and control of spread, a wider more inclusive approach, including principles of African and non-Western causality may facilitate our ability to prevent future outbreaks. Decolonising our traditional thoughts on medical causality may compliment the practice of medicine and enrich our understanding of health.
