Health Care Center - Servitude and Charity The world has now entered the second year of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The first year witnessed tremendous changes and shifts in global dynamics, both in positive and negative terms. We have witnessed the development of preventive tools such as vaccines at a record speed on the one hand; while on the other witnessing countries insulate themselves by reverting to narrow nationalistic attitudes and policies. Nationalistic policies, which are contrary to prudent global public health guidance, may very well prove counterproductive and contradictory in the long run[1], especially as the very nature this pandemic penetrates borders. Unsurprisingly, these approaches by wealthy countries, such as the US, the UK, Japan, Canada, Switzerland and the EU, are informed by narrow political interests that seek to not just protect their domestic populations but also guard their pharmaceutical companies.
