Coronavirus: A Pandemic Like No Other
Dr. Widad was featured in the Netherlands-based Women Generation’s publication in the Health section.
“Coronavirus pandemic is a global, multidimensional public health concern with political, social, economic and gender implications. The mortality and physical effects are accompanied by psychological consequences that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of emotion… A blanket of fear and sadness has wrapped the world, it grows heavier by the day, showing little sign of going away for the immediate future… Human safety and the protection of the most vulnerable must be the priority at this time. Therefore, we urge world leaders and citizens to apply humanitarian principles and values in all day-to-day decisions.”
