The World Health Organization\u2019s report highlights the pivotal role of social protection in mitigating the socioeconomic impacts of public health and social measures (PHSM) during COVID-19. Drawing insights from 316 studies across 123 countries, it explores how interventions like cash transfers, food assistance, social insurance, and fee waivers alleviated challenges such as food insecurity, financial hardship, and limited access to services.<\/p>\n
While PHSM, including lockdowns and school closures, were essential to controlling the pandemic, they often exacerbated inequalities, disproportionately affecting marginalised groups. The report emphasizes that robust social protection measures not only cushioned these immediate shocks but also contributed to longer-term resilience and equity.<\/p>\n
This evidence underscores the need to integrate comprehensive social protection mechanisms into public health emergency plans. By doing so, governments can ensure a more inclusive and equitable response, fostering resilience among vulnerable populations during future health crises.<\/p>\n
