[00:00.10] | From VOA Learning English, |
[00:02.46] | this is the Health Report. |
[00:05.97] | Researchers have appealed for new efforts |
[00:10.02] | to stop polio in countries |
[00:13.36] | where the disease never seems to disappear. |
[00:18.09] | They say stronger health systems |
[00:21.19] | and greater community involvement are needed |
[00:24.99] | in three such countries |
[00:26.99] | – Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. |
[00:32.41] | All three have faced attacks by militants, |
[00:36.66] | political unrest and a lack of trust among the populations. |
[00:43.21] | The researchers made them appear |
[00:46.54] | in the publication PLOS Medicine. |
[00:50.13] | Seye Abimbola works for Nigeria's |
[00:54.28] | National Primary Health Care Development Agency. |
[00:59.09] | He says it's time to move away from what has been called |
[01:04.68] | a leader-centric approach to polio eradication. |
[01:10.45] | Such a methodology plays more importance |
[01:15.10] | on leadership than shared responsibility. |
[01:20.16] | Dr. Abimbola says parents often have reasonable concerns |
[01:27.01] | about the safety of vaccines. |
[01:30.91] | He says some families may have lost one or two children |
[01:37.07] | to diseases like pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea. |
[01:43.11] | A mother he says may wonder what the government |
[01:48.19] | is doing about sicknesses other than polio. |
[01:52.13] | Dr. Abimbola says polio immunization |
[01:57.30] | should be part of a larger health |
[02:00.30] | and development intervention program. |
[02:03.69] | He writes, "the ambition of the global health community |
[02:09.30] | to eradicate polio appears to be blinding it |
[02:15.66] | to lessons learned about health systems over the past 30 years." |
[02:22.49] | He says it is now more important than ever |
[02:26.95] | to deal with people who distrust polio prevention |
[02:32.59] | as human beings with real concerns, not as an opponent. |
[02:39.64] | Further, he says it is important to somehow |
[02:44.09] | show militant groups that health interventions are necessary. |
[02:50.65] | For example, aid agencies say there have been cases |
[02:56.00] | when even the Taliban in Afghanistan |
[02:59.94] | has supported immunization campaigns against polio. |
[03:05.88] | Seye Abimbola says the Afghan Taliban approves of action against polio, |
[03:14.97] | because the group thinks of itself |
[03:18.41] | as waiting to take control of the government. |
[03:22.40] | In his words, when a militant group |
[03:25.81] | wants the trust of the people, |
[03:28.47] | they go at it by trying to do what the people want. |
[03:35.03] | The doctor sees the support of the Taliban |
[03:38.83] | as its way of seeking to gain legitimacy, |
[03:44.18] | trying to seem responsible and worthy of governing. |
[03:50.23] | And that's the Health Report from VOA Learning English. |
[03:54.68] | I'm Milagros Ardin. |
