為何富裕國家應該關心世界上最不健康的人群【全球瞭望】
Why Rich Countries Should Care About the World’s Least Healthy People
為什麼以歐美國家為首的富裕國家應該去關心如撒哈拉沙漠以南地區人群的健康問題呢?這個題目對於世界來說極其重要,因為除了會影響數百萬人的命運外,亦會對國際經濟、政治、安全帶來衝擊。Gostin教授在本文中特別說明,除了涉及國家利益,幫助貧窮人口不僅可以讓每個人都更平安、更安全,也可以在倫理上簡單地避免人道災難而值得我們去作。
Why should rich countries like America care about the world’s least healthy people? The subject is so important that it not only affects the fate of millions of individuals but also has international economic, political, and security ramifications. Professor Gostin uses this article to argue that, in addition to national interests which help the poor makes everyone safer and more secure, global health assistance simply may be ethically the right thing to do to avert an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe.
