By the middle of 2020, when there were more than 2.5 million coronavirus cases in the US, and when numbers were growing at an alarming rate, Cuba had reported just 2,448 cases in a population of 11.3 million. One reason for their success in controlling the outbreak is likely to be the country's strong healthcare system. Cuba has 8.19 doctors per 1,000 patients, which is the highest ratio in the world.
到2020年年中,当美国的新冠病毒感染病例超过了250万例并以惊人的速度增长时,古巴1130万人口中仅报告了2448例病例
A trillion dollars isn't enough to change the world's healthcare system, so here's an idea. We allocate some of our money to setting up a system of universal healthcare in one country. This country becomes a flagship, an advert to other countries of the benefits of universal healthcare.
一万亿美元不足以改变整个世界的医疗体系,所以我有个想法
I want to choose a large country, so that the transformation is both a challenge and a beacon. Take Ethiopia, for example. With a population of 100 million, Ethiopia has a large economy but only about three doctors per 100,000 people. Maternal and child mortality is relatively high, mainly because most births take place in homes, without the presence of a trained modern midwife. Poor sanitation and inadequate nutrition exacerbate health problems.
我想选择一个大国,这样的转型既是挑战,也是灯塔(指路明灯)
If we helped transform Ethiopia's healthcare system, of the many benefits, one would be that trained professional medics would be more inclined to stay in the country rather than emigrate. We'll need to look at and learn from other places, including Indonesia, with its ambitious attempt to introduce a system of universal healthcare, Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, which by 2019 covered 221 million people, or 83% of the population.
如果我们帮助改变埃塞俄比亚的医疗保健系统,在众多好处中,其中之一就是训练有素的专业医疗人员将更倾向于留在该国而不是移民他国
So there's some of our money to be spent on a demonstration of universal healthcare. Another good chunk should go to vaccines, both development and deployment. If this wasn't considered much of a priority before the coronavirus crisis, it is now. We all understand only too well now that the development, testing and equitable distribution of a vaccine is a huge and costly undertaking, with results that are far from guaranteed.
所以我们可以把一部分钱花在全民医保的示范国上,另外一大部分应该用于疫苗的开发和部署
