  • What are the politics involved in the procurement of vaccines in the Arab World, and what are strategies and challenges of distribution?
  • What do these politics tell us about access to medicines and the health sector in the Arab World in general?
  • What do these politics tell us about the global pharmaceuticals market, as well as the authority of intellectual property and access to technology governing it, especially at a moment of crisis like that of this pandemic
