近日,有记者在农村采访,当问及一些农民什么是非典型肺炎、如何预防等问题时,他们回答说:“只是从电视上听说过这种病,具体的不清楚。”据笔者所知,这种现象在农村尤其是偏僻山区相当普遍。应当说,如今全国上下对非典疫情的控制和防治非常重视,但由于疫情初发时重点在城市,因而在一些地方或多或少地存在着“重城市轻农村”的现象,这应引起我们的高度重视。农村人口多,医疗条件有限,医护人员少,防治能力差,通讯设备落后,因而抗击非典型肺炎的工作比城市更难、更艰巨。而且大多数农民生活水平较低,缺乏完善的医疗保障,经济承受能力有限,若得了非典型肺炎会延误治 Recently, a reporter interviewed in the countryside. When asking some peasants what is atypical pneumonia and how to prevent such problems, they replied: “I just heard about this disease on television and I am not sure about it.” I know that this phenomenon is quite common in rural areas, especially in remote mountainous areas. It should be said that the control and prevention and control of the SARS epidemic in the whole country nowadays attach great importance. However, due to the fact that the outbreak was first focused on the cities, the phenomenon of “light-weight rural areas” is more or less present in some places Aroused our attention. With more rural population, limited medical conditions, fewer medical and nursing staff, poor prevention and treatment capacity and backward communication equipment, the fight against atypical pneumonia is more difficult and arduous than that of cities. Moreover, most peasants have a lower standard of living, a lack of sound medical security and a limited financial capacity. If they have SARS, they will delay treatment
