Global health accelerators have become the leading expression of global health engagement and policy. While accelerators seem to be the strategy of the moment, the term is meaningless and devoid of any statement of content. Moreover, acceleration can make social processes too fast to be subject to rational control or governance, especially in an era of (un-)social media, which makes the pace of communication and information. Under the dominance of neoliberalism, acceleration and accelerators pose a particular risk because they encounter a situation in which mankind is moving away from solving vital challenges and addressing their root causes. The fashionable emergence of accelerators cannot inspire confidence in the future trends in global health unless they actually result in tangible change and new approaches to tackling systemic challenges.
全球健康加速器已成为全球健康参与和政策的主要表现形式。虽然加速器似乎是当下的策略，但这个术语毫无意义，也没有任何内容的陈述。此外，加速可能使社会进程变得太快，无法受到理性控制或治理，尤其是在（非）社交媒体时代，这使得沟通和信息的速度加快。在新自由主义的主导下，加速和加速器带来了特殊的风险，因为它们遇到了一种情况，即人类正在远离解决重要挑战和解决其根本原因。加速器的时髦出现并不能让人对全球健康的未来趋势充满信心，除非它们真正带来切实的变化和解决系统性挑战的新方法。
