Kwanele Asante, an advocate, lawyer, and bioethicist, emphasizes the need for fair remuneration for patient partners in Africa to empower them in contributing to health decisions and policies. While the fair pay movement is gaining traction globally, it has not been widely implemented in Africa. Asante argues that patient partners should be compensated for their time and expertise, as their contributions are valuable in improving healthcare outcomes. Additionally, African patient partners often face exploitation from their colleagues in the global North, highlighting the need for equitable compensation. Fair remuneration for patient partners is essential for health justice and upholding human rights in Africa.
