贫穷和传染病以复杂的方式相互作用。将贫困视为难以解决的问题,或将折磨穷人的流行病视为偶然事件,错误地免除了我们照顾最需要帮助的人的责任。充分解决传染病问题需要对形成疾病形态的结构性力量有一个生物社会学的认识。在资源贫乏的环境中,大多数卫生干预措施可以根据成本/效益比率获得支持,其时间跨度适当较长,以获得卫生投资的回报,并充分考虑到外部因素;然而,这样的计算掩盖了不作为的痛苦,并有可能侵蚀采取行动的最强大动力:消除不平等。
Poverty and infectious diseases interact in complex ways. Casting destitution as intractable, or epidemics that afflict the poor as accidental, erroneously exonerates us from responsibility for caring for those most in need. Adequately addressing communicable diseases requires a biosocial appreciation of the structural forces that shape disease patterns. Most health interventions in resource-poor settings could garner support based on cost/benefit ratios with appropriately lengthy time horizons to capture the return on health investments and an adequate accounting of externalities; however, such a calculus masks the suffering of inaction and risks eroding the most powerful incentive to act: redressing inequality.
