Abstract: This article aims to provide a reflection on the World Health Organization sponsored Project: “Responsibility for Public Health in the Lusophone World: Doing Justice In and Beyond the Covid Emergency”. This initiative was designed to gather experiences and data regarding the preparedness and response to the SARS- CoV-2 Pandemic in Angola, Brazil, Mozambique, Portugal and the Macao Special Administrative Region. Launched in November 2020, it combines the in-depth analysis of the most recent legislation and bibliography on the matter with data obtained through a Questionnaire, addressed to a significant number of participants (from healthcare workers to academics and non-government organisations (NGOs), of which there were 41 respondents), which aims to gather different experiences and analyse ethical difficulties, identified in the response to the Pandemic.
