zh-cn	世卫组织总干事就世界卫生日发表的讲话 
en-us	WHO Director-General's remarks on World Health Day 

zh-cn	2020年4月7日 
en-us	7 April 2020 

zh-cn	大家早上好，下午好，晚上好。 
en-us	Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are. 

zh-cn	世卫组织于1948年4月7日成立。
en-us	It was on the 7th of April 1948 that WHO came into being. 

zh-cn	今天是世卫组织诞辰。 
en-us	Today is WHO’s birthday.

zh-cn	我们每年都在今天举办世界卫生日庆祝活动。 
en-us	It’s a day we mark every year as World Health Day. 

zh-cn	但今年我们似乎没有很多值得庆祝的理由。 
en-us	This year, it may not seem that there are many reasons for celebration. 

zh-cn	全世界正处于当代最严重的健康危机中。 
en-us	The world is in the grip of the most severe health crisis of our time. 

zh-cn	COVID-19大流行提醒我们，所有卫生工作者尤其是护士和助产士发挥着重要作用。 
en-us	The COVID-19 pandemic is reminding us of the vital role all health workers play, especially nurses and midwives. 

zh-cn	每天，护士们在冒着风险救死扶伤。 
en-us	Every day, nurses are putting themselves at risk to alleviate suffering and save lives. 

zh-cn	他们在调整病房，为COVID-19患者添置床位，同时继续为包括产妇在内的有紧急健康需求的其他人提供护理服务。 
en-us	They’re reorganizing wards to open more beds for COVID-19 patients, while continuing to provide care for other patients with urgent health needs, including women in labour. 

zh-cn	他们在清点并向各科室提供设备。 
en-us	They’re taking stock of equipment and lending it across units. 

zh-cn	他们边干边学，情况每天都在变化，甚至每小时都在变化。 
en-us	They’re learning on the job with information that changes daily – even hourly. 

zh-cn	护士们做着了不起的事情。
en-us	And nurses are doing the unthinkable. 

zh-cn	隔离期间，冠状病毒危重患者在人间最后一次接触的可能就是护士的手。 
en-us	Because critical COVID patients are isolated, the last human touch they may feel is that of a nurse’s hand. 

zh-cn	我听说有护士在深夜给患者家人打视频电话，让亲人们与垂死的患者最后说声再见。 
en-us	I hear stories about nurses video-calling family members late in the night, so they can say goodbye to a dying relative. 

zh-cn	卫生工作者处于抗击COVID-19疫情第一线，冒着极大风险。 
en-us	Because health workers are on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19, they’re also among the most at risk. 

zh-cn	共有3000多名卫生工作者受到感染，其中许多人付出了生命代价。 
en-us	More than 3 000 health workers have been infected, and many have paid the ultimate price. 

zh-cn	卫生工作者暴露于病毒或生病后必须回家并居家隔离至少两周。
en-us	When health workers are exposed or become sick, they have to go home and stay there for at least two weeks. 

zh-cn	医院为此不得不想尽办法找寻替代人员。 
en-us	Hospitals scramble to find replacements. 

zh-cn	因此，我们必须确保卫生工作者有所需要的医用口罩和其他个人防护装备。 
en-us	That’s why we must ensure that health workers have the medical masks and other personal protective equipment they need. 

zh-cn	与此同时，婴儿仍在出生。
en-us	Meanwhile, babies are still being born. 

zh-cn	助产士仍在努力提供护理服务，让妊娠和分娩成为安全和快乐的人生体验。 
en-us	Midwives are still trying to provide care to make pregnancy and childbirth the safe and joyful experience it should be. 

zh-cn	助产士在尽力通过电话和电脑屏幕与孕产妇保持联系。
en-us	Midwives are doing their best to stay in touch with their clients by phone and screen. 

zh-cn	但并非所有女性都有手机。
en-us	But not all women have phones. 

zh-cn	助产士为联系不上的孕产妇感到担忧。 
en-us	They worry for those they can’t reach. 

zh-cn	今天是赞颂护士和助产士的日子。我们感谢他们所做的一切，并承诺尽力支持和保护他们。 
en-us	Today is a day to celebrate nurses and midwives, to thank them for everything they do, and to commit ourselves to doing everything we can to support and protect them. 

zh-cn	我希望全世界从COVID-19中吸取的一个教训是，我们必须投资于护士和助产士。 
en-us	One of the lessons I hope the world learns from COVID-19 is that we must invest in nurses and midwives. 

zh-cn	世卫组织、“护理服务刻不容缓”运动和国际护士理事会联合发布的一份新报告显示，全球护士短缺人数高达590万人。 
en-us	A new report issued by WHO, Nursing Now and the International Council of Nurses reveals a global shortfall of 5.9 million nurses. 

zh-cn	我们致力于协助各国填补这一缺口，并确保护士和助产士获得所需的培训、应得的认可以及体面的工作条件和工资。 
en-us	We are committed to supporting countries in filling that gap - and in ensuring that nurses and midwives receive the training they need, the recognition they deserve, and decent conditions and salaries for their work. 

zh-cn	我衷心感谢每一位护士和助产士。 
en-us	To every nurse and midwife, I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 

zh-cn	我们极为钦佩、尊重和感激各位护士和助产士。
en-us	You have our deep admiration, respect and gratitude.
