Abstract

The global scenario of a contracted economy over 4% and distraught healthcare systems due to the 2019 pandemic behooves us to redesign our strategies to move towards holistic approaches that allow health and wellbeing to be uniquely viewed within their contexts, promising sustainability. World-over, communities are more aware of the connectedness with nature and the role of positive behaviors. Disproportionate investments go into secondary and tertiary cure in healthcare systems and there is a minimal uptake of primary prevention. Investments in primordial prevention (PP) that can help achieve sustainable health are inadequate. PP is defined as an approach that prevents the risk factors for disease conditions from manifesting through maintenance of good health by embracing healthy environment, diet, and lifestyle behaviors, to function optimally. We propose integration of wellness as a primordial prevention strategy for sustainable public health using the 3 Ps: People, Places, and Policies/Programs. Wellness is holistic and multi-dimensional and is a primordial prevention concept as it focuses on people thriving based on a positive approach to health. The authors point out that the stumbling block in public health is due to unsustainable behavior as a result of misplaced priorities.
促进健康是在后科维德 19 时代实现可持续公共卫生的首要预防战略
全球经济萎缩超过 4%,医疗保健系统因 2019 年大流行病而陷入困境,在这种情况下,我们有必要重新设计我们的战略,转而采用整体方法,让人们在各自的环境中独特地看待健康和福祉,从而实现可持续发展。世界各地的社区都更加意识到人与自然的联系以及积极行为的作用。在医疗保健系统中,对二级和三级治疗的投资不成比例,而对一级预防的投资却微乎其微。有助于实现可持续健康的初级预防(PP)投资不足。初级预防的定义是,通过健康的环境、饮食和生活方式,保持良好的健康状况,防止疾病风险因素显现,从而发挥最佳功能。我们建议将健康作为可持续公共卫生的基本预防战略,采用 3P:人、场所和政策/计划。健康是整体的、多维的,是一个基本的预防概念,因为它关注的是人们在积极的健康方式基础上的茁壮成长。作者指出,公共卫生的绊脚石是由于优先事项错位造成的不可持续的行为。
