Ucoceko lubalulekile ekulweni lonke uluhlu lwezifo, kubandakanya i-COVID-19, ukanti abaqulunqi bemigaqo-nkqubo kunye nabanye bayasilela ukutyalomali, ukukhuthaza, kunye nokuphanda ngayo, zitsho iingcali zezempilo kwiReckitt Global Hygiene Institute. Endaweni yoko, amayeza okugonya, amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kunye nonyango olulolunye luthatha indawo esembindini lushiya eli candelo lezempilo lincipha.
Ucoceko, ngokwe-RGHI, yimiqathango kunye nezenzo ezinceda ukugcina impilo kunye nokukhusela ukusasazeka kwezifo.
"Sivakalisa i-alamu ukuba sithi ngaphandle kokuba sonyusa utyalo-mali kucoceko ngoku olunye ungenelelo lwethu lwezempilo luya kusifumana ukuza kuthi ga ngoku," utshilo uDame Sally Davies, uMthunywa oKhethekileyo wase-UK kwi-Antimicrobial Resistance. “Akufuneki sisebenzise amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kuba nje umntu engakwazi okanye engazihlambi kakuhle izandla.”
Izifo ezifana nekholera, i-typhoid, usulelo lweentshulube zamathumbu kunye nepoliyo zonke zinokufunyanwa ngenxa yokungacoceki. Njengoko unakho umkhuhlane kunye nengqele eqhelekileyo, kunjalo, i-COVID-19. Ngelixa ukuhlamba izandla kuvakala kulula nangamanzi acocekileyo, ukuthathwa kweendlela eziqhelekileyo kufuna isimilo kunye notshintsho lwentlalo phakathi koluntu. Oku akusoloko kulula ukufikelela, ngakumbi ukuba kukho ukunqongophala kwezixhobo, ulwazi kunye nezakhono.
"Kungenxa yoko uphando olongezelelweyo, utyalo-mali kunye nokuqwalaselwa kuyadingeka kwindawo yokucoceka," kusho uSimon Sinclair, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-RGHI. “Ehlabathini lonke kusekho iipokotho apho kukho izithuba ezinkulu zamanzi acocekileyo nococeko. Oku kufuneka kulungiswe ukuba siza kufikelela imida ephambili yezempilo efana nempilo entle kubo bonke ngo-2030, ngokweNjongo yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo.”
Ngokutsho kweWorld Health Organization, isikolo esi-2 kwezi-5 kunye nesi-1 kwezi-4 zamaziko okunyamekela impilo ehlabathini lonke awanazo iindawo zokuhlamba izandla. Kukho iindawo zokuhlala ezingenamanzi acocekileyo okuhlamba, ezihlala kufutshane nezilwanyana, okanye ezinemigangatho emdaka; zonke ezi zenza imingeni yokugcina ucoceko.
Ukongeza, izigidi ezingama-500 zabasetyhini, amantombazana, kunye nabantu abasexesheni abanayo into abayidingayo ukulawula imijikelo yabo yokuya exesheni - ukufikelela kwizibonelelo ze-WASH, ulwazi, kunye neemveliso zococeko.
“Kuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe kucoceko lwehlabathi ngaphandle kokubonelela ngamanzi nesepha. Njengenyathelo lokuqala, kufuneka sichonge ukuba yintoni imiqobo ekulungiseni le mingeni kunye nokulungisa ezi zikhewu. Oko kufuna uphando. Ukusuka apho, abaqulunqi bomgaqo-nkqubo kunye nabalinganiswa banokwaba ngcono imali yokuphelisa le miba, "uNjingalwazi Albert Ko, uNjingalwazi kunye noSihlalo we-Epidemiology ye-Microbial Diseases, i-Yale School of Public Health yathi: "Ngaphandle kokuba oku kuyenzeka, impilo yoluntu iya kuqhubeka ingena esichengeni, asizukululungiselela ubhubhani olandelayo, kwaye uqoqosho luya kudodobala. ”
“Kusekuninzi ekufuneka kuhanjwe ekuphuculeni ukufikelela kumanzi nesepha ukuze kuphuculwe ucoceko. Njengenyathelo lokuqala, kufuneka sichonge ukuba yintoni imiqobo ekulungiseni le mingeni kunye nokulungisa ezi zikhewu. Oko kufuna uphando. Ukusuka apho, abaqulunqi bemigaqo-nkqubo kunye nabalinganiswa banokunikezela ngcono ngemali ukuphelisa le miba, ”uqhube watsho uSinclair. "Ngaphandle kokuba oku kuyenzeka, impilo yoluntu iya kuqhubeka ukuba semngciphekweni, asizukululungiselela ubhubhane olandelayo, kwaye uqoqosho luya kudodobala."
I-RGHI, isiseko esingenzi nzuzo esasungulwa kwi-2020, ijolise ekuxhaseni ukuzaliswa kwezo zikhewu ngokuxhasa ukuveliswa komgangatho ophezulu, uphando lwezenzululwazi oluvavanya amakhonkco phakathi kococeko kunye nempilo. Lungaphuculwa njani uvavanyo loqoqosho lwamangenelo okuhlamba izandla? Zeziphi iimpembelelo zokungafezeki kwempilo yokuya exesheni kunye neemfuno zococeko kwimpilo nakwimfundo? Yintoni ukusebenza kwamanyathelo akhokelwa luluntu kwiinkqubo zococeko kwiindawo ezinengeniso ephantsi? Ingaba ikhona indlela yokuphucula ulawulo lweenkukhu ezingasemva kwendlu ukunciphisa ukuchanabeka kwelindle?
Le yeminye yemibuzo iqela lokuqala leZiko labalingane abahlanu abaza kuzama ukuyiphendula kule minyaka mithathu izayo. Injongo kukunceda ukwazisa i-ajenda yezempilo yehlabathi ngelixa ikhokelela ekwamkelweni kweendlela ezingcono nezizinzileyo zococeko kwihlabathi jikelele.
“Amanyathelo angakumbi afana neli, afuna ngokukodwa ukuvala izithuba ezinkulu zobungqina esinabo kucoceko, ayafuneka. Ewe, kukho ezinye iinkalo zokungenelela kwezempilo ezibaluleke ngokulinganayo kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ucoceko luye lwangahoywa xa lunamandla okuphucula ngokumangalisayo impilo yabantu kunye nokhuseleko lokutya kwihlabathi jikelele kwaye, ngaloo ndlela kuphuculwe uqoqosho, "uqukumbela ngelithi uSinclair.
Uphando e-Bangladesh lufumene ukuba kuqikelelwa ukuba i-4% ye-GDP ngomntu ngamnye ichithwa kunyango lohudo.
Ngaphandle kwexabiso elinokubakho kuluntu ngokutyala imali kwiindlela eziphuculweyo zococeko, kukho ukunqongophala kwenkxaso-mali. IBhanki yehlabathi iqikelele ukuba ukuphumeza ucoceko olwaneleyo nolulinganayo kunye nococeko kubo bonke - nto leyo eyenza iNjongo yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo yesi-6 ecaleni kwamanzi acocekileyo kubo bonke - kuya kufuneka ukuba kubekho i-114 yeebhiliyoni eyongezelelweyo etyalwe ngonyaka. Olu luphinda-ntathu lotyalo-mali lwenqanaba langoku.
Amazwe afana ne-Uganda ngoku abeka i-3% yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwesizwe ngasemanzini kunye nokusingqongileyo nto leyo echaphazela ucoceko, kwaye eMalawi isezantsi nge-1.5%.
“Ukuba ubhubhane usibonise nantoni na, kubaluleke kangakanani ucoceko kwimpilo yethu. Kubalulekile ukuba siqhubeke nezenzo zococeko ezakhiwe ngeli xesha kwaye siqhubele phambili phambili ukuze siqinisekise ukuba wonke umntu unayo into ayidingayo ukugcina ucoceko kunye nempilo entle, ”utshilo uNjingalwazi uKo. "Sibongoza iinkokeli zehlabathi ukuba zithathele ingqalelo ngakumbi ucoceko njengesixhobo esibalulekileyo sokulwa iintsholongwane, usulelo kunye nezifo."
