Conflicts are inevitable, and so are refugees. Due to conflicts in Ukraine, the global refugee population has reached new highs. As people continue to flee Ukraine amid the ongoing pandemic in droves, their exposure to COVID-19 and infectious diseases that are common among the refugee population, such as tuberculosis, is on the rise as well. Also factoring in the fact that Ukraine has a large population living with communicable diseases like HIV and hepatitis C, along with other non-communicable conditions like diabetes and cancer, there is a pronounced need to protect these refugees and local residents from potential public health crises. In this paper, we investigate the challenges that health and government officials face in addressing refugees’ health needs and preferences. Furthermore, we discuss the imperative to provide timely and effective health services to refugees, such as psychoneuroimmunology-based interventions that could help address refugees’ multifactorial and multifaceted health needs and requirements. While conflicts are inevitable, public health crises are not. In light of the renewed imperative to safeguard shared humanity and solidify global solidarity, collaborative actions are needed to ensure fair, kind, and true public health environments are available to refugees of the current conflict and beyond.

公共卫生危机和乌克兰难民

冲突是不可避免的,难民也是如此。由于乌克兰的冲突,全球难民人数达到了新高。随着人们在持续的大流行中继续逃离乌克兰,他们接触 COVID-19 和在难民人口中常见的传染病(如肺结核)也呈上升趋势。还考虑到乌克兰有大量人口患有艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎等传染病,以及糖尿病和癌症等其他非传染性疾病,因此迫切需要保护这些难民和当地居民免受潜在的公共卫生危机. 在本文中,我们调查了卫生和政府官员在解决难民的健康需求和偏好方面面临的挑战。此外,我们讨论了为难民提供及时和有效的卫生服务的必要性,例如基于心理神经免疫学的干预措施,可以帮助解决难民的多因素和多方面的健康需求和要求。虽然冲突是不可避免的,但公共卫生危机并非如此。鉴于维护共同人性和巩固全球团结的新紧迫性,需要采取协作行动,确保当前冲突及其他地区的难民能够获得公平、善良和真实的公共卫生环境。
