论公共卫生危机治理中的社会制度优势——以“大跃进”运动前血吸虫病防治为例

On the Superiority of Social System in Public Health Crisis ——An Example of Prevention and Cure of Schistosomiasis before 1958

血吸虫病是近代以来危害中国人民身体健康的最严重的流行病之一。新中国成立后,血吸虫病依然在中国广大地区肆虐,并成为一场持久而严重的公共卫生危机。1949—1958年,面对严重的危机,执政的中国共产党以对人民、对民族负责的态度,充分发挥新中国社会制度的优势,发动和领导人民群众掀起防治血吸虫病的宏大运动,在不太长的时间内控制甚至消除了这场公共卫生危机。这场运动成为分析和探讨重大社会行动中社会制度影响力的经典案例。

Schistosomiasis was one of the epidemics before 1949, and from 1949 to 1958 under the lead ership of the Communist Party of China people started a great movement of prevention and cure of Schisto somiasis. This epidemic was soon controlled, which shows the superiority of socialist system. This move ment now has become a typical case.
