Learning from the SARS-CoV-2 consequences is essential in order to anticipate future pandemics. Moreover, it is a compelling reason to make substantive improvements in both public health and prevention systems. However, preparedness seems a difficult task when people show pandemic fatigue or question decisions that would affect their personal sphere. To deal with such reactions, it seems important to leave open some avenues for citizens' involvement, a strategy recommended by the World Health Organization and the European Commission. Here the main argument is in favor of a civic approach of prevention: 1) Preparedness to anticipate future pandemics is a duty; 2) But, so far, it is not a priority issue for the political agenda; 3) Neither is citizens' collaboration in the governance of health policy. Therefore, we could ask about the channels of communication and participation that are available to citizens, entities or stakeholders, to discuss public health issues.
从新冠病毒带来的后果中吸取教训对于预测未来的大流行至关重要。此外,这也是大幅改善公共卫生和预防系统的一个极具说服力的理由。然而,当人们表现出大流行疲劳或质疑那些会影响其个人领域的决策时,做好准备似乎是一项艰巨的任务。为应对此类反应,为公民参与留出一些途径似乎很重要,这是世界卫生组织和欧盟委员会推荐的一项策略。这里的主要论点支持预防的公民参与方式:1)为预测未来大流行做好准备是一项责任;2)但是,到目前为止,这并非政治议程的优先事项;3)公民在卫生政策治理中的合作也不是。因此,我们可以探讨公民、实体或利益相关者可用来讨论公共卫生问题的沟通和参与渠道。
