Abstract:
Terrorism has emerged as an increasingly pressing global issue, giving rise to escalating casualties and devastating implications for peace and security. The low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), already grappling with inadequate healthcare services and an estimated annual mortality toll ranging from 5.7 to 8.4 million, face further setbacks as terrorism exacerbates their prevailing healthcare deficiencies. Among the aspects of how terrorism affects healthcare in LMICs are high morbidity, mortality, and treatment wait times. The four principal areas of reverberation encompass amplified vulnerabilities in healthcare systems, financial shortfalls in LMIC healthcare systems, worsened personnel shortages in healthcare, and the devastating impact on healthcare facilities. In response to these challenges, international organizations and countries have played a pivotal role in mitigating the impact of terrorism on healthcare systems. Additionally, to improve healthcare in these regions, investing in infrastructure, supporting healthcare workers, and ensuring safety are paramount. Implementing mobile health interventions, traditional medicine, and mobile laboratories may enhance healthcare accessibility. Further, employing blockchain technology for data security and supply chain management may strengthen healthcare systems in these areas.
摘要:
恐怖主义已成为一个日益紧迫的全球问题,造成不断升级的伤亡和对和平与安全的毁灭性影响。低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs),已经在努力应对医疗服务不足和估计的年死亡率从570万到840万,面临进一步的挫折,因为恐怖主义加剧了他们普遍存在的医疗保健不足。恐怖主义如何影响低收入国家的医疗保健的方面包括高发病率,死亡率,和治疗等待时间。混响的四个主要领域包括医疗保健系统中放大的漏洞,LMIC医疗保健系统的财务短缺,医疗保健人员短缺加剧,以及对医疗机构的毁灭性影响。为了应对这些挑战,国际组织和国家在减轻恐怖主义对医疗保健系统的影响方面发挥了关键作用。此外,为了改善这些地区的医疗保健,投资基础设施,支持医护人员,确保安全是最重要的。实施流动卫生干预措施,传统医学,和移动实验室可以提高医疗保健的可及性。Further,采用区块链技术进行数据安全和供应链管理可能会加强这些领域的医疗保健系统。
