Covid-19 has in many ways tested our capacity to respond to health challenges, including any other pandemic that may erupt. Research in molecular biology, healthcare, the development of health equipment and the development of specialised skills in pulmonary medicine is urgently needed.
In fact, the country has to develop the capacity to continue training medical specialists in different areas that may be deemed critical and urgent at the emergence of any other future pandemics and life-threatening diseases.
In the College of Graduate Studies, the UNESCO-Unisa Africa Chair in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology is leading is international research into the nanodelivery of drugs, including African herbal medicine. The College of Law offers an elective undergraduate module on Medical Law.
I-Covid-19 ihlole ngezindlela eziningi amandla ethu okubhekana nezinselele zezempilo, okuhlanganisa nanoma yisiphi esinye isifo esiwubhubhane esingase siqubuke. Ucwaningo lwebhayoloji yamangqamuzana, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yezempilo kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwamakhono akhethekile emithini yamaphaphu ludingeka ngokushesha.
Eqinisweni, izwe kufanele lithuthukise amandla okuqhubeka nokuqeqesha ochwepheshe bezokwelapha ezindaweni ezahlukene ezingase zithathwe njengezibucayi futhi ziphuthuma lapho kuvela noma yiziphi ezinye izifo eziwubhadane nezifo ezisongela ukuphila.
EKolishi Lezifundo Zeziqu, uSihlalo we-UNESCO-Unisa Afrika esifundweni Sezakhiwo nokwakha ngesilinganiso esincane kakhulu kanye noBuchwepheshe besayensi uhola ucwaningo lwamazwe ngamazwe mayelana nokulethwa kwezidakamizwa, okuhlanganisa nemithi yaseAfrika ephathelene nomphefumulo, umoya, nomzimba. IKolishi Lomthetho linikeza imojuli yokukhetha yabafundi abathola iziqu kuMthetho Wezokwelapha.
Covid-19 e lekile bokgoni ba rona ba ho arabela mathateng a bophelo bo botle ka ditsela tse ngata, ho kenyeletswa le sewa sefe kapa sefe se ka qhomang. Dipatlisiso ka baeloji ya dimolekhule, tlhokomelo ya bophelo bo botle, ntshetsopele ya disebediswa tsa bophelo bo botle le ntshetsopele ya tsebo tse kgethehileng tsa meriana ya matshwafo di hlokahala ka potlako.
Ebile, naha e tlameha ho ntshetsapele bokgoni ba ho tswela pele ho kwetlisa ditsebi tsa bongaka dibakeng tse fapaneng tse ka nkwang di le bohlokwa ebile di potlakile ha ho hlaha mafu a sewa le mafu a kotsi a kamoso.
Kholejeng ya Mangolo a Thuto, UNESCO-Unisa Africa Chair in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology e etella pele ka dipatlisiso tsa matjhaba mabapi le nanodelivery ya dithethefatsi, ho akarelletsa le meriana ya ditlamatlama ya Afrika. Kholeje ya Molao e fana ka mojulu wa boikgethelo ba baithuti ba tlase ho Molao wa Bongaka.
Covid-19 het ons vermoë om op gesondheidsuitdagings, insluitend ander moontlike pandemies, te reageer op verskeie maniere getoets. Navorsing op die gebied van molekulêre biologie, gesondheidsorg, die ontwikkeling van gesondheidsorgtoerusting en die ontwikkeling van gespesialiseerde vaardighede in pulmonologie word dringend benodig. Die land moet trouens die kapasiteit ontwikkel om opleiding in verskillende velde wat van kritieke belang sal wees wanneer pandemies en lewensgevaarlike siektes in die toekoms opduik, aan mediese spesialiste te bied.
Die UNESCO-Unisa Afrika-leerstoel in Nanowetenskappe en Nanotegnologie (UNESCO-Unisa Africa Chair in Nanosciences and Nanotechnology) in die Kollege vir Nagraadse Studies (College of Graduate Studies) is ’n leier in internasionale navorsing oor die nanotoediening van medisyne, insluitend kruiemiddels wat in Afrika gebruik word. Die Kollege vir Regsgeleerdheid (College of Law) bied ’n elektiewe voorgraadse module in Mediese Reg.
