Coronavirus conversations: African doctors

The World Health Organisation has warned that a large number of poorer countries are not getting enough Covid-19 vaccines. This comes as some African countries are experiencing a third wave of coronavirus. We'll speak to frontline doctors across the continent to hear about the situation in their countries and the challenges they are facing.

Also, in Egypt a 20-year-old TikTok star has been detained after being convicted of human trafficking charges. On Sunday she was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison on charges accusing her of exploiting girls through video-sharing apps for money, which she denies. We'll hear more about the story from our correspondent in the capital Cairo.

And we'll answer your questions about coronavirus with our regular health expert. Today it's Dr Isaac Bogoch - infectious diseases physician and scientist from the University of Toronto.
