全球,医生和律师在健康正义项目中合作。这些专业人士追求的理想,有一天,地球上的每个人都将受到同样的保护,免受损害健康的危害。健康正义的主要障碍是歧视,贫困和隔离,但是我们知道,除了具体,可量化的障碍,信仰和恐惧等象征性因素在延续健康不公正方面也起着重要作用。所以,2020年3月,当世界卫生组织宣布COVID-19为全球大流行时,2021年6月,全球范围内都有针对该病毒的疫苗,我们收集了四个哥伦比亚土著社区如何对抗COVID-19的原始信息。知道哥伦比亚土著社区经常面临健康不公正,我们的目标是了解象征元素在这种情况下的作用。我们的主要见解是历史上的种族灭绝过程,强者背叛了土著社区的信任,在后者中造成了创伤,导致对接受外部来源的“礼物”的不情愿和怀疑,包括潜在有益的健康治疗。
Worldwide, medical doctors and lawyers cooperate in health justice projects. These professionals pursue the ideal that, one day, every individual on Earth will be equally protected from the hazards that impair health. The main hindrances to health justice are discrimination, poverty and segregation, but we know that beyond concrete, quantifiable barriers, symbolic elements such as beliefs and fears also play a significant role in perpetuating health injustice. So, between March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and June 2021, when vaccines against the virus were globally available, we collected original information about the ways in which four Colombian Indigenous communities confronted COVID-19. Knowing that Colombian Indigenous communities often face health injustices, our goal was to understand the role of symbolic elements in the situation. Our main insight is that historical genocidal processes, in which the powerful have betrayed the trust of Indigenous communities, have created a trauma in the latter, resulting in reluctance and suspicion regarding the acceptance of \'gifts\' from external sources, including potentially beneficial health treatments.
