Reflection on Global Public Health Ethics from the Perspective of Community / 中国医学伦理学

The global spread of COVID -19 indicates that cultivating public health awareness and constructing the concept of human health community has become an urgent need and a long-term plan in the current social situation. In the post-epidemic period, only by adhering to the concept of human health community, strengthening the cooperation among individuals, families, communities, institutions, urban and rural areas, countries and so on, weaving closely and consolidating the "net bottom" of grass-roots prevention and control from point to area, and establishing the mechanism of group prevention, group control and joint prevention and control, can we thoroughly curb the spread of the epidemic in the world. Under the development concept and value orientation of human health community, the individual is not only a booster of public health, but also a component of public health, and also a beneficiary of public health. The realization of public health is inseparable from the practice of each individual. Under the guidance of the concept of human health community and the awareness of individual health first responsibility, all citizens need to shape health promotion behaviors that fit the individual’s own situation, promote the health maintenance atmosphere consciously followed by the whole society, create a healthy ecological environment accessible to everyone, and let all citizens share the good results of public health management, so as to achieve the good vision of human health community.

The Construction of Human Health Community from the Perspective of Marx’s Space Theory: Challenges, Connotations, and Approaches / 中国医学伦理学

Capital’s penetration and mastery of global space shape a human health space that coexists with homogeneity and fragmentation, compressibility and expansion, digestion and remodeling. Capital exacerbates the deprivation of health resources in the global space through means such as controlling the power field, expanding the scope of flow, and monopolizing resource allocation, seriously constraining the overall improvement of human health. The human health community focuses on the healthy development of health in the global space, showing strong human sentiments and profound spatial implications. It aims to break the dominance of capital forces on human health in space, scientifically respond to the space crises caused by major public health events, and build a global space for the balanced and sustainable development of human health. It is Chinese concept, Chinese plan, and Chinese wisdom for reshaping the global justice space and safeguarding human health. To realize the value of health in the global space, it is necessary to take Marx’s space theory as the guide, continuously promote the construction of human health community from the three-dimensional space of individual micro, regional meso, and global macro, and create a space for health justice.
