David Miliband: 我认为国际救援委员会(IRC)的使命是应对全球日益严峻的健康挑战。我们组织由爱因斯坦创立,旨在帮助人们逃离纳粹统治,现在我们的工作范围涵盖了冲突和灾难等各种危机。健康是我们工作的重要组成部分,约占国际工作的40%。我们独特之处在于我们非常重视研究和创新,通过实地工作和智囊团,我们努力寻找最具成本效益的解决方案。我认为仅仅宣传苦难是无济于事的,寻找解决方案才是充满希望的。我们不仅帮助人们生存,还努力帮助他们发展,在营养不良、免疫、孕产妇健康、暴力侵害妇女、教育和生计等领域都开展了工作。我特别关注针对医疗保健和医务人员的袭击,这在冲突地区已成为一种日益普遍的现象。我认为我们不需要发明一套新的规则,而是需要遵守现有的规则,尽管联合国安理会需要改革。我也意识到,西方国家未能履行承诺时,也会造成损害和影响力丧失,因此我们也要整顿好自己的内部事务。对于即将到来的特朗普政府,我预计可能会对性健康和生殖健康方面的资金和行动采取限制措施,并大幅减少难民安置计划中允许进入该国的难民人数。我们将认真对待并从字面上理解所说的话,并呼吁更广泛的捐助者群体来支持我们的工作。
