They have done so in workplaces that were previously decimated by budget cuts and austerity measures, which reduced the number of staff in healthcare systems. In September, nurses in <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/08/nurses-left-behind-by-croatian-government/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Croatia</a> decided to protest such actions by the government, while health workers in <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/07/guinea-bissau-health-workers-demand-to-be-valued/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Guinea-Bissau</a> went on strike.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">At the same time, health workers in <a href="https://publicservices.international/resources/news/myanmar-healthcare-workers-determined-to-strike-on?lang=en&id=12189&showLogin=true" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Myanmar</a> continued to oppose the military government: you can find more on their struggle in our <i>In case you missed it section</i>.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">While front-line workers fight for fair working conditions and safe staffing, inequities in access to Covid-19 medical products persist in different communities. <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/08/humans-without-rights-refugees-and-access-to-covid-19-vaccines/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Refugees, migrants, and other displaced people</a> have been excluded from most national vaccination programs. In combination with poor living conditions, this puts them at a significantly higher risk of contracting severe forms of Covid-19.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">Vaccination rates in poor countries continue to lag behind those of high-income countries, and as news about possible Covid-19 treatments begins to appear, there is a growing concern that vaccine inequity will soon spread to drugs. We bring a report from a recent webinar on the importance of the TRIPS waiver proposal in the context of ensuring fair access to <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/08/equitable-access-to-covid-19-diagnostics-and-therapeutics-is-key-to-ending-the-pandemic/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Covid-19 therapeutics</a> and diagnostics.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">Some lower and middle-income countries, however, have managed to strengthen their vaccination campaigns - and right to health groups had a role in this. In <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/07/what-is-happening-with-covid-19-vaccination-in-tunisia/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Tunisia</a>, the Association for the Defense of the Right to Health has pushed for greater inclusion of primary health care in vaccine delivery, as this would help reduce regional differences that have appeared.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">One month after the introduction of the Texas abortion ban, people all over the United States have come together for a weekend of protests, showing their support for reproductive justice. For a <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/10/08/what-does-texas-abortion-ban-mean-for-reproductive-rights-in-the-us/" style="color:#08121a;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">video interview</a>, People’s Health Dispatch met with Leigh Haynes, activist of People's Health Movement North America, to hear more about the impact the ban might have on women in Texas.</p><p style="margin:0 0 1.5em 0;line-height:1.6em">In <i>Data speaks</i>, we compare the deaths caused by Covid-19 and the 1918 influenza in India, the UK, and the US.
