BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: First vaccines delivered through Covax

Ghana is the first country to receive Covid vaccines through the Covax initiative

Ghana has become the first country to acquire Covid vaccines through the global “Covax” programme aimed at sharing access to vaccine more fairly. We speak to our health reporter about the roll-out plan in the continent and hear from Ghanaians about their experiences of the pandemic.

We also hear from two doctors in Venezuela who have reminded of the shocking reality they are facing while tackling the pandemic; many of the biggest hospitals in the country don’t even have running water.

Our Chinese media analyst explains the heated debate a divorce ruling has sparked in China and around the world. A court in Beijing ruled that a man must compensate his wife for the housework she did during the marriage.
