In February 2003, a Chinese physician crossed the border between mainland China and Hong Kong, spreading Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)—a novel flu-like virus—to over a dozen international hotel guests. SARS went on to kill about 800 people and sicken 8,000 worldwide. By July 2003 the disease had disappeared, but it left an indelible change on public health in China. The Chinese public health system, once famous for its grassroots, low-technology approach, was transformed into a globally-oriented, research-based, scientific endeavor.
In Infectious Change, Katherine A. Mason investigates local Chinese public health institutions in Southeastern China, examining how the outbreak of SARS re-imagined public health as a professionalized, biomedicalized, and technological machine—one that frequently failed to serve the Chinese people. Mason recounts the rapid transformation as young, highly trained biomedical scientists flooded into local public health institutions, replacing bureaucratic government inspectors who had dominated the field for decades. Infectious Change grapples with how public health in China was reinvented into a prestigious profession in which global impact and recognition were paramount—and service to vulnerable local communities was secondary.
第四章惊人,理解的基石之一
评分很棒的民族志,公卫的很多问题基本都讲到了,但对制度和疾控内部系统的描写比较少,如”问责制“等一笔带过(估计能拿到的资料也不足以支撑这部分的讨论)。无比感慨,如果说08年那会是戴着枷锁做调查,如今就是画地为牢了……
评分第四章惊人,理解的基石之一
评分现在看来这本书的结论完全错误啊,一个高度职业化的公共卫生系统并没有建立起来
评分很好读,非典之后的公共卫生体系。公共卫生面向的公共是谁,服务和管理的对象不一致不仅是中国问题,也是全球问题。对西方科学共同体的想象和向往,以西方为标准的专业准则的遵守,难以带来在地的改变和有效性。从公共卫生的特殊性,不应把人抽象化的角度去理解关系、人情,基层工作尤其是毛时代基层的重要性。提到的很多关于信息、信任、基层的问题,在这次疫情中都有所体现
