经济增长和现代化长期以来都与更好的健康联系在一起,而现在造成的局面是,越来越多的人虽然寿命延长了,却处于不健康的状态。
Most technology markets, like those for flat screen TVs and hand-held electronic devices, produce products that are progressively cheaper and easier to use. Not so for pharmaceuticals and medical devices, where new products are nearly always more expensive and more complex to use, often requiring specialized training.
大多数技术市场,如平板电视和手持电子设备市场,生产的产品越来越便宜和易于使用。但药品和医疗器械市场却不是这样,这类市场的新产品几乎总是更昂贵,使用起来更复杂,通常需要专门培训。
Even the richest countries in the world cannot afford new treatments for common conditions like cancer and hepatitis C that cost from $50 000 to $150 000 per patient per year.
即使是世界最富裕的国家也负担不起用于癌症和丙型肝炎等常见病症的新治疗方法,这些疗法的费用每名患者每年为5万至15万美元。
This trend is the opposite of sustainable development.
这种趋势与可持续发展背道而驰。
