Pandemic futures, future preparedness
The deliberations for the Pandemic Accord have opened an important moment of reflection on future approaches to pandemic preparedness. The concept had been increasingly prominent in global health discourse for several years before the pandemic and had concretised into a set of standardised mainstream approaches to the prediction of threats. Since 2019, the authors and the wider research team have led a research project on the meanings and practic…
Uncertainties beyond preparedness
Vaccination is one of the most recognised strategies in public health for preventing the spread of epidemics, and the availability of a vaccine is often expected by health actors to be a ‘game-changer’. However, the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) vaccine in Senegal was not the magic bullet that the international community expected. A very low vaccination coverage rate (less than 10% by April 2023) was observed in this country, once considere…
Injection Practices as Seen by Drug Users in Senegal. An Analysis of a 'Magnifying Glass' Effect of Global Health
Sharing used injection equipment is one of the main ways in which drug users run the risk of infection (e.g., with HIV, or hepatitis B and C). This has led to the introduction of harm reduction (HR) strategies, such as needle exchange programmes (NEPs). Injection use is considered to be less widespread in West Africa. This article analyses the perceptions of drug users regarding injection, the place they assign it among consumption methods, and t…
From Repression to Care for Drug Users
This article examines the evolving perceptions of law enforcement personnel and legal professionals in Senegal regarding drug abuse and drug control strategies. Amid a context characterized by increased workloads due to drug offenses criminalized since 2007 and diversification and internationalization of drug trafficking, most stakeholders acknowledge the ineffectiveness of purely punishment-based responses, particularly for drug users suffering …
L’engagement des associations de personnes vivant avec le VIH dans la réponse au covid au Sénégal
Au Sénégal, le premier cas de covid a été déclaré le 2 mars 2020. Un ensemble de mesures sanitaires – fermeture des frontières, interdictions de rassemblements, limitation des déplacements – ont été décrétées pour éviter la propagation du virus. Dès le début de l’épidémie, les personnes âgées ou atteintes de maladies chroniques, dont le VIH, ont été perçues comme particulièrement vulnérables. Les associations de personnes vivant avec le VIH (PVVI…
Treatment success or failure in children and adolescents born with HIV in rural Senegal
Émergence des vulnérabilités de soignants en première ligne au cours des urgences sanitaires
Basé sur les résultats d'une étude ethnographique sur la construction sociale de la confiance, cet article décrit les expériences vécues lors de l'épidémie de la maladie à virus Ebola. Il montre comment, en première ligne face aux malades, les dispositifs de réponse à une épidémie imprévisible au Sénégal reposent sur les capacités des agents de santé peu visibles, au statut précaire, qui ne sont pas considérés comme faisant partie des membres du …
Negotiating Intersecting Precarities
This article shares findings on COVID-19 in Africa across 2020 to examine concepts and practices of epidemic preparedness and response. Amidst uncertainties about the trajectory of COVID-19, the stages of emergency response emerge in practice as interconnected. We illustrate how complex dynamics manifest as diverse actors interpret and modify approaches according to contexts and experiences. We suggest that the concept of "intersecting precaritie…
Vaccine anxieties, vaccine preparedness
Global debates about vaccines as a key element of pandemic response and future preparedness in the era of Covid-19 currently focus on questions of supply, with attention to global injustice in vaccine distribution and African countries as rightful beneficiaries of international de-regulation and financing initiatives such as COVAX. At the same time, vaccine demand and uptake are seen to be threatened by hesitancy, often attributed to an increasin…
Disease X and Africa
In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the addition of Disease X, a hypothetical infectious threat, to its blueprint list of priority diseases. In the construction of discourse that circulated following this announcement, conceptions of Disease X intersected with representations of Africa. In our article, we share a broad strokes analysis of internet narratives about Disease X and Africa in the six months before the onset of the C…
La réponse communautaire à la pandémie de Covid-19 au Sénégal
Au Sénégal, nombre d'acteurs et actrices de la santé communautaire se sont engagé·es précocement dans la lutte contre la Covid-19. Leurs réponses, conçues à partir des besoins des populations et des possibilités sur le terrain, se sont inspirées de ce qui avait fonctionné contre d'autres épidémies, comme celle du VIH ou celle du virus Ebola. Malgré leur efficacité, ces initiatives ont été entravées à la fois par les cadres du gouvernement sénégal…
Surveillance in the field
During an Ebola outbreak, the WHO recommends that health professionals consider people as suspect cases (SCs) when they show key signs such as the sudden onset of high fever or specific symptoms after having had contact with a suspect or confirmed Ebola case. SCs should then get care, be isolated and be reported to health authorities until the Ebola virus disease is confirmed through a lab test. This exploratory study aims to understand this iden…
Accepted monitoring or endured quarantine? Ebola contacts' perceptions in Senegal
Des anthropologues face à l’épidémie d’Ebola
Depuis que l’épidémie à virus Ebola a été déclarée en Guinée fin mars 2014, les aspects sociaux se sont révélés déterminants pour le succès de la prévention, du traitement des malades, et de la conduite de recherches médicales et d’essais thérapeutiques. Un an plus tard, le volume d’études en sciences sociales était suffisant pour que soit organisé le premier colloque en sciences sociales sur l’épidémie d’Ebola en Afrique de l’Ouest, qui a eu lie…
Humaniser » les soins dans l’épidémie d’Ebola ? Les tensions dans la gestion du care et de la biosécurité dans le suivi des sujets contacts au Sénégal
Pour « humaniser » la riposte à l’épidémie d’Ebola de 2014-2015, l’OMS a fait appel à des anthropologues. Or les acteurs de première ligne ont développé eux-mêmes, dans le même objectif, des pratiques que cet article analyse en étudiant l'activité des agents qui suivent les sujets contacts dans le cadre de la surveillance communautaire. Les institutions engagées lors de la flambée épidémique au Sénégal ont chargé des volontaires de la Croix-Rouge…
Partager l'information sur son statut sérologique VIH dans un contexte de polygamie au Sénégal
In Senegal, where HIV prevalence is less than 1% and stigma remains important, 40% of marriages are polygamic. The purpose of this article is to describe and analyze the motivations, benefits and constraints related to HIV disclosure, and to explore specific situations related to polygamy. Data were collected through qualitative research based on in-depth repeated interviews on the experience of antiretroviral therapy and its social effects, cond…
