Global Health Security After Ebola: Four Global Commissions
本文探讨西非埃博拉疫情如何成为变革全球卫生安全的警钟，分析世卫组织及国际社会因关注其他优先事项而忽视最贫困人口苦难的教训。
he West African Ebola epidemic was a clarion call to transform global health security. Why? After all, more people die every week from enduring diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria-not to mention noncommunicable diseasesthan died throughout the Ebola epidemic. In 1948 the United Nations created the World Health Organization (WHO) precisely to lead the global response to novel infectious diseases with the potential for rapidly spreading across borders. Yet, the WHO and the entire international community were so focused on other priorities (and many countries, like the United States, so self-absorbed with isolated Ebola cases) that they turned their backs on the suffering of the world's poorest people. The result was an unconscionable amount of illness and death, most of which was entirely preventable.
