Abstract

Militaries have an important and inevitable role in global health and will interface with existing health systems on deployments. While the primary concern of militaries is not global health, there are clear, and increasingly frequent, circumstances when global health activities align with the interests of defence. Recognising this link between global health and security warrants thoughtful consideration and action where concerns affecting both intersect. In addition to providing medical support to military personnel on operations, advantageous effects can be achieved directly from military medical activities as part of Defence Engagement. While there are limitations and ethical boundaries to the role of militaries in global health, further training, research and conceptual development are warranted to optimise military medical activity at the intersection of security and global health to deliver advantageous effects. This paper forms part of a special issue of BMJ Military Health dedicated to Defence Engagement.

探索全球卫生与国防参与的界面。
军队在全球卫生方面发挥着重要且不可避免的作用,并将在部署中与现有的卫生系统对接。虽然军队的主要关切不是全球卫生,但全球卫生活动与国防利益一致的情况显而易见,而且日益频繁。认识到全球卫生与安全之间的这种联系,就需要在影响两者的关切相互交叉时进行深思熟虑并采取行动。除了在行动中为军事人员提供医疗支持外,作为国防参与的一部分,军事医疗活动也可直接产生有利影响。虽然军队在全球卫生领域的作用存在局限性和伦理界限,但仍有必要开展进一步的培训、研究和概念开发,以优化安全与全球卫生交叉领域的军事医学活动,从而产生有利影响。本文是《英国医学杂志》(BMJ)军事卫生专刊 "国防参与 "的一部分。
