UWI lecturer: virus uncovers biases in health system regionally

Abstract

UWI lecturer: virus uncovers biases in health system regionally. A clinical pharmacology lecturer at The University of the West Indies (UWI) is arguing that the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in the Caribbean has highlighted societal biases in the regional health system. As such, Dr Kenneth Connell is urging regional governments to take the opportunity to teach health care workers how to identify and divorce themselves from their implicit biases and how to deal with patients irrespective of race, colour, or creed.
