Theatre utilisation during the COVID-19 pandemic – what we learnt in rural health services

Authors

Abstract

The history of humankind has shown that global catastrophic events produce some of our greatest advances. World War II, the HIV-AIDS pandemic and 9/11 have all left a deep imprint on the global psyche, but some of humanity’s greatest technological innovations occurred during and after these. These include the development of the personal computer, penicillin, antiretroviral drugs, global digital networks, social media and global movements for human rights.1-3
