摘要

与预期相反，赞比亚与许多其他撒哈拉以南非洲国家类似，与大多数高收入西方国家不同，至少在疫情的第一年，相对成功地保护了公众健康免受2019冠状病毒病的影响。考虑到资源有限的医疗保健系统、广泛的合并症和SSA的其他不利条件，这怎么可能呢？在本文中，我们讨论了宗教、生命哲学、全球卫生方法、传统医学以及以往致命流行病的经验可能对赞比亚公共卫生的成功起到的作用。我们借鉴了之前关于类似疫情的研究，以及赞比亚目前的经验，包括媒体上表达的经验和政府记录中的经验。我们认为赞比亚的做法对其他社会是一种鼓舞，这样一来，较发达的国家不仅可以为较不发达的国家做出贡献，而且间接地也可以为较低发达的国家作出贡献。©2021。保留所有权利。

The Role of Religion, Philosophy of Life, Global Health, Traditional Medicine, and Past Experiences in the Covid-19 Pandemic Response: Zambia Case Study

Contrary to expectations, Zambia, similarly to many other Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and unlike most high-income Western countries, protected the public health against Cov-id-19 relatively successfully, at least during the first year of the pandemic. How is this possible given the resource-limited health care system, widespread comorbidities, and other adverse conditions in SSA? In this paper we discuss the possible role of religion, philosophy of life, global health approach, traditional medicine, as well as experiences with previous deadly epidemics, that might have contributed to Zambia's public health success. We draw on previous research concerning similar pandemic situations, as well as on current Zambian experiences, including those expressed in media and contained in accessible government records. We take Zambia's approach to be an inspiration for other societies so that it is not only the case that the more developed countries can contribute to the less developed ones, but indirectly also vice versa. © 2021.
