COVID-19 Updates

GHM has shipped PPE including masks, gloves, gowns, sanitizer and more to help protect health workers at partner hospitals and rural clinics like this one in Ankaramalaza, Madagascar.

Global Health Ministries’ COVID-19 Task Force is regularly gathering data for each of our 13 partner countries for a high-level look at confirmed Covid cases, deaths and vaccine doses administered. This most recent update is based on World Health Organization (WHO) reporting as of 7 January, 2022 (covid19.who.int).

Key take-aways from this update include:

• There was an increase of 16% in Covid deaths among GHM’s 13 partner countries during the past 5 months as reported to WHO.

• Vaccinations increased 228% during the past 5 months in our GHM partner countries.

• El Salvador, India and Nicaragua had the highest reported rates of full vaccination, whereas Cameroon, Nigeria, South Sudan and Tanzania had the lowest rates.

• Globally, over 9 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been administered, and 3.9 billion people are considered fully vaccinated.

Below are more detailed summaries of COVID-19 impact in GHM partner countries, again based on WHO reporting as of 7 January, 2022.

Many thanks to Lon Kightlinger, MSPH, Ph.D., Epidemiologist and GHM Board and COVID-19 Task Force member, for compiling this country-specific information. He wisely urges us to consider country-to-country comparisons with caution, particularly as completeness of data reported to WHO varies between countries over time. This blog will continue to be updated as new information becomes available.
