最近全球卫生基础设施的变化需要考虑国家公共卫生运动的价值和有效性。这些转变包括药物研究的全球化,非政府组织资助的卫生干预措施的兴起,以及国际卫生的生物安全模式的兴起。我们认为,尽管这些趋势是对实际卫生需求的有价值的反应,但重要的是要记住,公共卫生运动在促进国民健康方面可以发挥关键作用,特别是在发展中国家。聚焦于中国在20世纪90年代初回应围绕全国需要清洁和充足的血液供应以及艾滋病毒通过献血无意中传播的公共卫生危机时所树立的榜样,我们认为强有力的国家公共卫生计划具有重要作用。我们还确定了使中国对这种萌芽中的疫情做出反应的关键因素,最终在很大程度上取得了成功。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
Recent shifts in the global health infrastructure warrant consideration of the value and effectiveness of national public health campaigns. These shifts include the globalization of pharmaceutical research, the rise of NGO-funded health interventions, and the rise of biosecurity models of international health. We argue that although these trends have arisen as worthwhile responses to actual health needs, it is important to remember the key role that public health campaigns can play in the promotion of national health, especially in developing nations. Focusing on an example set by China in response to a public health crisis surrounding the national need for a clean and adequate blood supply and the inadvertent spread of HIV by way of blood donation in the early 1990's, we argue that there is an important role for strong national public health programs. We also identify the key factors that enabled China's response to this bourgeoning epidemic to be, in the end, largely successful. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
