In 2014, Russian authorities in occupied Crimea shut down all medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs for patients with opioid use disorder. These closures dramatically enacted a new political order. As the sovereign occupiers in Crimea advanced new constellations of citizenship and statehood, so the very concept of "right to health" was re-tooled. Social imaginations of drug use helped single out MAT patients as a population whose "right to health," protected by the state, would be artificially restricted. Here, I argue that such acts of medical disenfranchisement should be understood as contemporary acts of statecraft.
2014 年,俄罗斯占领的克里米亚当局关闭了所有阿片类药物使用障碍患者的药物辅助治疗 (MAT) 项目。这些关闭举措戏剧性地执行了一种新的政治秩序。随着克里米亚主权占领者推进新的公民身份和国家地位的组合,“健康权”的概念也被重新制定。对药物使用的社会想象有助于将 MAT 患者挑出来,认为他们的“健康权”受到国家保护,将受到人为限制。在这里,我认为,这种医疗剥夺公民权的行为应该被理解为当代的治国方略。
