ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant challenges for the health care sector. These challenges come with great human and natural cost. Responding to these challenges would require a robust framework from which the government and other stakeholders in health care can draw upon not just for the COVID times but for the postCOVID times as well. This essay, therefore, evaluates the principles of justice along with other issues raised so as to tease out recommendations that are relevant to the Nigerian context. It is apposite to state here that context is really important if there is to be an adequate response to the pandemic-induced challenges which health care organizations face. Scholars on the discourse of allocating scarce medical resources, based on the analysis, it becomes evident that for any principle to be considered just and adequate for addressing the issues raised by COVID-19, such a principle must embody the elements of respect for human dignity and other utilitarian concerns. To achieve this, some recommendations have been made as we will discover in this essay.
