Abstract:

 The challenges of pandemics have been a recurring one in human history as it has posed a threat to continued human existence. Yet as a result of human resilience man has always had to improvise and overcome these challenges as individuals and more so as collectives. Globalization has been a very strong force particularly in the 21st century and has gone on to shape the way people interact and in this case manage outbreaks of global pandemics such as the coronavirus pandemic. The paper focuses on the dynamics and intricacies underlying the impact or effect of global pandemic in the era of heightened globalism and interaction between low-income economies and developed societies. It aims to underscore how health sectors in low income countries have fared in the face of the crisis amidst globalization. It finds that these countries are truly better off developing domestic policies and strengthen their respective institutions. It recommends amongst others that countries should look inwards and find solutions to such threats and by so doing the global community can become more fortified.
