We recently sat down with Dr Maria Tanyag from the Australian National University and Dr Ari Jerrems from the University of Western Australia for chat about what happens to health systems during a crisis (such as a pandemic or war). Ari talks us through his work studying the Spanish health system during COVID and how policies were implemented in different parts of Spain. Maria talks us through some of the issues in the Philippines, and also discusses her recently published book “The Global Politics of Sexual and Reproductive Health”. Maria focuses particularly on how sexual and reproductive health rights are impacted during a crisis, and the role different factors such as religion and morality play in this.
