What a lovely group of passionate people attended the 7th Zoom public meeting organised by BritBanglaCovid , since beginning of the pandemic, on 9th January at 3pm when we could easily have left everything for a day of sunshine! As usual, we covered Covid-19 in a very intelligent way and for which I am so grateful to my panelists: Professor Patrick Vernon OBE FrHistS , Rokhsana Fiaz (Mayor of Newham) Chris Tang , Rachel Blake , Shirina Ali and others. We have covered from health, community, local authority, and most importantly, from the perspective of structural inequality that had already existed in our community when it comes to the question of Bangladeshis and other minority communities in London. It was such a pleasure to hear from everyone. There would not have been BritBanglaCovid without your support and belief in BritBanglaCovid! Thank you for being part of BritBanglaCovid world! ‘'Bangladeshi group was the only ethnic group...the highest vaccine uptake at 91.
BritBanglaCovid is a platform that shares real-life experiences of British Bangladeshis prior to and during the pandemic. It shares their circumstances from their perspective for public benefit and tries to bring about positive health outcomes for the benefit of this and other minority communities through shared experience. BritBanglaCovid is also a forum through which minority community representatives discuss issues that affect them in times of health crisis.
