Abstract

Décembre 2013, Guinée : un petit garçon succombe à une maladie non diagnostiquée. Ce décès mystérieux marque le début d’une épidémie d’Ebola de deux ans qui va faire trembler le monde et menacer nombre de pays, riches et pauvres confondus, en divers endroits de la planète. Le 31 mars 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) lance un avertissement : cette épidémie, qui sévit désormais en Guinée, en Sierra Leone et au Liberia, est sans précédent, « hors de contrôle ». Il faudra cependant attendre le 8 août pour que l’OMS finisse par déclarer que l’épidémie est une « urgence de santé publique de portée internationale ». En septembre, lorsqu’un cas est diagnostiqué aux États-Unis, la majeure partie du monde tourne enfin son attention sur ces trois petits pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest et la machine médiatique s’emballe, produisant en série des scénarios catastrophes. Au cours des mois suivants, l’épidémie entame un recul et, le 29 mars 2016, l’OMS en déclare officiellement la fin. La maladie à virus Ebola aura contaminé 28 646 personnes et fait 11 308 morts. Le maître mot de cette épidémie ? La peur. Peur naturelle liée à une maladie mortelle, peur alimentée par les tenants du pouvoir afin d’obtenir des bénéfices politiques. Peur « à distance » sur les autres continents, mais aussi peur des malades. Au sein d’un tel chaos - une situation inédite pour l’organisation -, MSF s’est retrouvée contrainte d’agir. Cette épidémie a non seulement mis à rude épreuve ses valeurs éthiques, mais a aussi montré les limites de ses capacités en termes d’infrastructures médicales et logistiques. C’est pour examiner le rôle de l’organisation et tirer les enseignements de cette crise sans précédent que MSF a conçu La Politique de la peur, ouvrant même ses archives internes aux contributeurs. De façon impitoyable, la maladie a mis au jour la fragilité du corps humain, de la société et du corps politique. Les textes de cet ouvrage racontent les pans de cette histoire à travers le prisme de diverses disciplines (anthropologie, médecine, histoire…), mais aussi de quatre témoignages narrant une expérience personnelle de l’épidémie. Car ce qui importe, c’est ce qui se passera demain et la manière dont ceux qui auront à faire des choix difficiles pourront bénéficier des leçons du passé.

Abstract

This textbook examines strategies of investing in human health and investing in economic growth as distinct approaches to development. It explores the symbiotic relationship of these tactics, and considers the applications and outcomes from a global, national and community level perspective. Each chapter introduces concepts of economic development and population health, and uses case studies to illustrate the same. These case studies include program and policy examples from Bangladesh, Chile, Haiti, Rwanda, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The textbook also examines the impact of macroeconomic adjustment programs, health care restructuring, investment in primary health care, public-private partnerships, and the challenges of program coordination and up-scaling in stable and conflict-ridden countries. Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter to facilitate classroom activities. Solutions are provided at the end of the textbook.

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in global health emergencies-from SARS to pandemic influenza to Ebola to Zika. Each of these occurrences has sparked calls for improved health preparedness. In Unprepared, Andrew Lakoff follows the history of health preparedness from its beginnings in 1950s Cold War civil defense to the early twenty-first century, when international health authorities carved out a global space for governing potential outbreaks. Alert systems and trigger devices now link health authorities, government officials, and vaccine manufacturers, all of whom are concerned with the possibility of a global pandemic. Funds have been devoted to cutting-edge research on pathogenic organisms, and a system of post hoc diagnosis analyzes sites of failed preparedness to find new targets for improvement. Yet, despite all these developments, the project of global health security continues to be unsettled by the prospect of surprise.

Abstract

This book identifies the main challenges to confronting global health (in)securities at three levels. First, at the level of zoonosis, to which HIV and Ebola, as well as H1Nn, MERS-CoV, and SARS belong, and which promise to continue to emerge. Second, at the level of the spread of these across bio-, ecological and political boundaries and borders, particularly nationally. These present challenges not only in terms of immunities, but also in terms of rights – who is eligible for treatment under whose responsibility? Finally, at the international level of global administration, presenting a challenge in terms of coordinated public health, legal, political, and economic response. The book develops coordinated policy recommendations for meeting these challenges in a globalized world, and examines the unique opportunities and challenges associated with the co-administration of the good of public health by both nation states and non-state actors. This book will be valuable read for students of Public Policy, Health Policy and Management, International Relations and Global Governance.

Abstract

The chapters in this topical volume of Advances in Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Public Health present exciting, insightful observations on emerging viral infections like influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome, or mosquito-transmitted diseases, as well as the potential of social media in preventing and fighting infectious diseases. This rapidly developing field of study, which involves interdisciplinary and challenging research conducted in both industrialized and limited-resource countries, can yield vital information for the life and social sciences, for public health, and for healthcare in general. The aim of this volume is to contribute to the development of knowledge on emerging infections in the endless struggle between viruses and man. The chapters selected are not intended as a systematic collection of all emerging infections, but instead highlight recent discoveries and provide insights on today’s hot topics. The book offers a valuable resource for all scientists working in the field of emerging viral infections and possible vaccines, as well as for laboratory and medical staff whose work involves preventing, controlling and combatting infectious diseases.
