Rationing of scarce health-care resources is distressing. Clinicians therefore require clear guidance, which should be developed systematically and transparently through multi-stakeholder engagement. Rationing is seldom required in high-income settings but is often necessary in low-income settings. Global solidarity and health system strengthening are required to reduce the need for rationing.
卫生保健资源稀缺的分配问题令人痛心。因此,临床医生需要明确的指导,这些指导应该通过多方利益相关者的参与,系统且透明地制定。在高收入环境中,分配很少是必需的,但在低收入环境中往往是必要的。需要全球团结和加强卫生系统,以减少分配的必要性。
