The weaknesses of healthcare systems have been sharply revealed amid the instability of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflicts across the borders of different countries. One thing unites these two crises that appear to be separate: the incapacity of healthcare systems to provide for the most basic human requirements in emergency situations. With an emphasis on the roles of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation, we look into the similarities between healthcare failures in COVID-19 and conflict zones in this Editorial and offer possible solutions to improve the circumstances.
在新冠疫情的动荡以及不同国家边境持续不断的冲突中,医疗体系的弱点被尖锐地暴露出来。有一点将这两场看似毫无关联的危机联系在一起:医疗体系在紧急情况下无法满足最基本的人类需求。在这篇社论中,我们着重探讨联合国和世界卫生组织所发挥的作用,研究新冠疫情期间的医疗体系失灵与冲突地区医疗体系失灵之间的相似之处,并提出改善现状的可行解决方案。
