大家好。首先，我想先介绍一下我的家庭。
00:14
OK, first, some introductions.

00:17
My mom, Jennie, took this picture.

这张照片是我母亲珍妮拍的。
00:21
That's my dad, Frank, in the middle.

照片正中的是我父亲，弗兰克。
00:24
And on his left, my sisters:

在他的左侧的是我的姐妹：
00:26
Mary Catherine, Judith Ann,
Theresa Marie.

被他抱在膝上的是约翰·帕特里克，
而坐在父亲右侧的是凯文·迈克尔。

00:35
And in the pale-blue windbreaker,

2473
而那个穿着浅蓝色冲锋衣的小孩
00:38
Susan Diane. Me.
7
26236
2145
就是我，苏珊·黛安。
00:41
I loved growing up in a big family.
8
29491
3128
在这样一个大家庭里成长是非常幸福的。
00:45
And one of my favorite things
was picking names.
was picking names.
9
33159
3673
小时候我的爱好之一就是帮忙取名字。
00:49
But by the time child
number seven came along,
number seven came along,
10
37924
3445
但当家中迎来第七个孩子时，
00:53
we had nearly run out of middle names.
11
41393
2317
我们能用的中间名已经基本上全用过了。
00:57
It was a long deliberation
12
45075
1842
最后全家经过几番讨论后决定，
00:58
before we finally settled
on Jennifer Bridget.
on Jennifer Bridget.
13
46941
4007
我的小妹妹的名字为詹妮弗·布丽奇特。
01:04
Every parent in this audience
14
52353
2731
在座的各位中一定有已经为人父母的，
01:07
knows the joy and excitement
15
55108
2624
你们一定了解在新生儿诞生之初
01:09
of picking a new baby's name.
16
57756
2438
为它取名时的激动和喜悦。
01:12
And I was excited and thrilled
17
60913
1922
而我在那重要的纪念性时刻
01:14
to help my mom in that special
ceremonial moment.
ceremonial moment.
18
62859
3703
协助母亲的时候感到激动不已。
01:19
But it's not like that everywhere.
19
67824
2039
但并不是所有家庭都能如此幸福。
01:23
I travel a lot and I see a lot.
20
71163
2683
我四处游历，也见闻颇丰。
01:26
But it took me by surprise to learn
21
74273
3093
但是在埃塞俄比亚的所见所闻
01:29
in an area of Ethiopia,
22
77390
2179
还是让我感到非常意外。
01:31
parents delay picking the names
for their new babies
for their new babies
23
79593
3681
那里的父母会推迟给新生儿取名
01:35
by a month or more.
24
83298
1551
长达一个月甚至更久。
01:37
Why delay?
25
85908
1417
他们为什么要推迟？
01:40
Why not take advantage
of this special ceremonial time?
of this special ceremonial time?
26
88278
3367
为什么不趁着这一重要的纪念性时刻为孩子命名？
01:44
Well, they delay because they're afraid.
27
92423
2397
他们推迟，是因为害怕，
01:48
They're afraid their baby will die.
28
96007
2217
他们害怕他们的孩子活不了多久。
01:51
And this loss might be a little more
bearable without a name.
bearable without a name.
29
99080
5150
没有取名字，或许能让死去孩子的父母更好受一点。
01:57
A face without a name might help them feel
30
105248
3905
一张没有名字的脸或许能够
让他们的丧子之痛不那么刻骨铭心。
02:01
just a little less attached.
31
109177
2769
02:05
So here we are in one part of the world --
32
113019
2477
我们所处的世界这端，
02:07
a time of joy, excitement,
dreaming of the future of that child --
dreaming of the future of that child --
33
115520
4741
对于新生命的到来如此热切，激动，充满希望。
02:12
while in another world,
34
120893
2262
但在世界另一端，
02:15
parents are filled with dread,
35
123179
2920
那些同为父母的人，却总是满怀忧虑，
02:18
not daring to dream
of a future for their child
of a future for their child
36
126123
3575
他们甚至不敢去奢望孩子的未来
02:21
beyond a few precious weeks.
37
129722
1866
哪怕这“未来”的定义，仅仅是未来几周。
02:24
How can that be?
38
132789
1396
为什么会这样？
02:27
How can it be that 2.6 million babies
39
135189
5485
为什么全球范围内
会有260万的新生儿
02:32
die around the world
40
140698
1794
02:34
before they're even one month old?
41
142516
2420
在未满月就已夭折？
02:37
2.6 million.
42
145926
1975
260万
02:41
That's the population of Vancouver.
43
149034
2319
那可是温哥华的人口总数。
02:44
And the shocking thing is:
44
152512
2119
而最令人痛心的是：
02:47
Why?
45
155043
1298
为什么？
02:48
In too many cases, we simply don't know.
46
156365
3770
在发生了这么多悲剧后，我们仍旧一无所知。
02:53
Now, I remember recently seeing
an updated pie chart.
an updated pie chart.
47
161145
4126
我最近看过一张扇形统计图，
02:57
And the pie chart was labeled,
48
165295
2168
这张图是关于
02:59
"Causes of death in children
under five worldwide."
under five worldwide."
49
167487
3512
全球五岁以下儿童死亡原因的统计。
03:03
And there was a pretty big section
of that pie chart, about 40 percent --
of that pie chart, about 40 percent --
50
171838
4045
扇形图中很大的一部分，大约有40%，
03:07
40 percent was labeled "neonatal."
51
175907
3362
40%的死亡原因标注为“新生的”。
03:12
Now, "neonatal" is not a cause of death.
52
180077
2377
“新生的”并不能算致死原因。
03:14
Neonatal is simply an adjective,
53
182920
2767
它仅仅是一个形容词，
03:17
an adjective that means that the child
is less than one month old.
is less than one month old.
54
185711
4868
形容那些尚未满月的婴儿。
03:23
For me, "neonatal" said:
"We have no idea."
"We have no idea."
55
191656
4357
在我看来，“新生的”意为“我们一无所知”。
03:29
Now, I'm a scientist. I'm a doctor.
56
197100
2170
而我作为一名科学家，一名医生，
03:31
I want to fix things.
57
199294
1493
我想弥补这些不幸。
03:33
But you can't fix
what you can't define.
what you can't define.
58
201580
3865
但是对于我们甚至都无法定义的对象，修补谈何容易。
03:38
So our first step in restoring
the dreams of those parents
the dreams of those parents
59
206227
4768
所以为了找回那些父母的梦想，
03:43
is to answer the question:
60
211019
2177
首先我们必须回答这个至关重要的问题：
03:45
Why are babies dying?
61
213220
1949
为什么新生儿们还在不断夭折呢？
03:48
So today, I want to talk
about a new approach,
about a new approach,
62
216359
3735
今天，我想要谈论一种新的解决方案。
03:52
an approach that I feel
63
220118
1937
这一方案在我看来
03:54
will not only help us
know why babies are dying,
know why babies are dying,
64
222079
4684
将不仅能揭开婴儿早夭的原因，
03:59
but is beginning to completely transform
65
227367
3377
更是将全面改善
04:02
the whole field of global health.
66
230768
1784
全人类健康的现状。
04:06
It's called "Precision Public Health."
67
234235
3126
这一方案叫作 “精准公共卫生”。
04:10
For me, precision medicine comes
from a very special place.
from a very special place.
68
238615
5000
对我来说，精准医疗的起点不同寻常。
04:16
I trained as a cancer doctor,
an oncologist.
an oncologist.
69
244894
2807
我曾作为一名癌症医师，一名肿瘤学家接受专业训练。
04:20
I got into it because I wanted
to help people feel better.
to help people feel better.
70
248079
3618
我进入这一领域是因为我想要帮助人们减轻痛苦，
04:24
But too often my treatments
made them feel worse.
made them feel worse.
71
252491
3805
但常常事与愿违，我的治疗往往让他们更加痛苦。
04:29
I still remember young women
being driven to my clinic
being driven to my clinic
72
257277
4736
我至今仍记得那些年轻女孩坐着母亲的车
04:34
by their moms --
73
262550
1194
来到我的诊所求医，
04:36
adults, who had to be helped
into my exam room by their mothers.
into my exam room by their mothers.
74
264611
4799
即使她们已是成年人，
却仍要在母亲的帮助下才能走进检测室。
04:42
They were so weak
75
270791
1160
她们非常虚弱
04:43
from the treatment I had given them.
76
271975
2229
而正是我的治疗方案让她们如此虚弱。
04:47
But at the time, in those front lines
in the war on cancer,
in the war on cancer,
77
275283
4200
可是当时，在与癌症抗争的前线，
04:51
we had few tools.
78
279507
1634
我们别无选择。
04:54
And the tools we did have
couldn't differentiate
couldn't differentiate
79
282030
3692
而我们仅有的化疗手段无法区别
04:57
between the cancer cells
that we wanted to hit hard
that we wanted to hit hard
80
285746
3274
我们意在消灭的癌细胞
05:01
and those healthy cells
that we wanted to preserve.
that we wanted to preserve.
81
289670
3439
和那些我们想要保护的健康细胞。
05:06
And so the side effects that you're
all very familiar with --
all very familiar with --
82
294663
2955
而化疗的副作用你们早已耳熟能详：
05:09
hair loss, being sick to your stomach,
83
297642
2834
脱发掉发，恶心反胃，
05:12
having a suppressed immune system,
so infection was a constant threat --
so infection was a constant threat --
84
300500
4114
免疫系统遭抑制，因此感染的威胁无处不在
05:17
were always surrounding us.
85
305179
2785
一直潜伏在我们的周围。
05:20
And then I moved
to the biotechnology industry.
to the biotechnology industry.
86
308985
2709
之后我将工作重心转到了生物科技产业。
05:24
And I got to work on a new approach
for breast cancer patients
for breast cancer patients
87
312269
4080
同时我仍立志寻找新的治疗乳腺癌的方法，
05:28
that could do a better job
of telling the healthy cells
of telling the healthy cells
88
316373
5001
新方法必须能够更好地将健康的细胞
05:33
from the unhealthy or cancer cells.
89
321398
2342
与非健康细胞或癌细胞区分开。
05:36
It's a drug called Herceptin.
90
324566
2023
这是一种叫做赫赛汀（Herceptin)的药物。
05:39
And what Herceptin allowed us to do
91
327343
3236
赫赛汀使得我们能够
05:42
is to precisely target
HER2-positive breast cancer,
HER2-positive breast cancer,
92
330603
5211
精确地锁定HER2阳性乳腺癌细胞，
这是当时最为棘手的乳腺癌。
05:49
at the time, the scariest
form of breast cancer.
form of breast cancer.
93
337036
2682
05:52
And that precision let us
hit hard the cancer cells,
hit hard the cancer cells,
94
340091
3835
而这样的精确度，使我们强有力地攻击癌细胞，
05:56
while sparing and being more
gentle on the normal cells.
gentle on the normal cells.
95
344727
4090
同时不影响到正常的细胞。
06:02
A huge breakthrough.
96
350441
1716
这是一项创举。
06:04
It felt like a miracle,
97
352181
2080
简直像是一种奇迹，
06:07
so much so that today,
98
355091
2949
这样的奇迹在如今不胜枚举。
06:10
we're harnessing all those tools --
99
358064
2531
如今我们使用着各种工具，
06:13
big data, consumer monitoring,
gene sequencing and more --
gene sequencing and more --
100
361156
5524
大数据，患者监控，基因序列等等，
06:18
to tackle a broad variety of diseases.
101
366704
3321
来应对各种疾病。
06:23
That's allowing us to target individuals
102
371044
5069
这使得我们可以针对不同的患者
06:28
with the right remedies at the right time.
103
376137
3284
在恰当的时间对症下药。
06:32
Precision medicine
revolutionized cancer therapy.
revolutionized cancer therapy.
104
380731
4460
“精准医疗” 在癌症治疗领域掀起了一场革命。
06:37
Everything changed.
105
385655
1602
它改变了一切。
06:40
And I want everything to change again.
106
388187
3121
而我希望这一切能够再一次改变。
06:44
So I've been asking myself:
107
392214
2252
因此我不断地问自己：
06:46
Why should we limit
108
394490
1818
为什么我们要将
06:48
this smarter, more precise,
better way to tackle diseases
better way to tackle diseases
109
396332
4809
这一更为先进，更为准确，更好的治疗疾病的方法
06:53
to the rich world?
110
401165
1163
限制在富人阶层？
06:56
Now, don't misunderstand me --
111
404105
1512
不要误解我的话，
06:57
I'm not talking about bringing
expensive medicines like Herceptin
expensive medicines like Herceptin
112
405641
3326
我并不是在宣扬将诸如赫赛汀这样昂贵的药品
07:00
to the developing world,
113
408991
1885
带入第三世界，
07:02
although I'd actually kind of like that.
114
410900
2250
虽然其实这也不失为一个好主意
07:05
What I am talking about
115
413707
1965
但我想要传递的
07:07
is moving from this precise
targeting for individuals
targeting for individuals
116
415696
4368
是将这些为个体客制化的医疗服务
07:12
to tackle public health problems
117
420088
2643
向大范围公共卫生的范畴推进
07:14
in populations.
118
422755
1741
不是以个人为单位 是以总人口为单位
07:18
Now, OK, I know probably
you're thinking, "She's crazy.
you're thinking, "She's crazy.
119
426487
4583
我知道你们可能会认为
“你疯了，你不能那么做。那代价太大了。“
07:23
You can't do that. That's too ambitious."
120
431094
2992
07:26
But here's the thing:
121
434830
1502
但事实是：
07:29
we're already doing this in a limited way,
122
437180
3298
尽管受到种种制约，我们已经开始实施这一计划，
07:32
and it's already starting
to make a big difference.
to make a big difference.
123
440502
3070
而且它已经开始产生显著的效果。
07:36
So here's what's happening.
124
444606
1529
我来告诉你们它究竟改变了什么
07:38
Now, I told you I trained
as a cancer doctor.
as a cancer doctor.
125
446952
2590
我刚才说了，我所受的是癌症医生的专业训练。
07:41
But like many, many doctors
who trained in San Francisco in the '80s,
who trained in San Francisco in the '80s,
126
449566
4449
然而像许多在上世纪八十年代的旧金山地区受教育的医生一样，
07:46
I also trained as an AIDS doctor.
127
454039
2091
我所受的专业培训也包含了艾滋病治疗。
07:49
It was a terrible time.
128
457077
1608
那是段艰难岁月。
07:51
AIDS was a death sentence.
129
459504
2038
艾滋病就是死亡的代名词。
07:54
All my patients died.
130
462385
1626
我所有的病人都死了。
07:57
Now, things are better,
131
465329
1904
尽管现在情况有所好转，
07:59
but HIV/AIDS remains
a terrible global challenge.
a terrible global challenge.
132
467257
4579
但艾滋病毒和艾滋病仍然是可怕的全球性难题。
08:04
Worldwide, about 17 million women
are living with HIV.
are living with HIV.
133
472473
5451
如今在世界范围内，有大约1700万的女性是艾滋病毒携带者。
08:10
We know that when these women
become pregnant,
become pregnant,
134
478744
3297
我们知道一旦这些女性怀孕，
08:14
they can transfer the virus to their baby.
135
482065
2613
她们所携带的艾滋病毒很可能会传染给她们的孩子。
08:18
We also know in the absence of therapy,
136
486551
2252
我们也很清楚地知道，由于医疗条件的不足，
08:20
half those babies will not survive
until the age of two.
until the age of two.
137
488827
3483
那些孩子中有半数活不过两岁。
08:25
But we know that antiretroviral therapy
can virtually guarantee
can virtually guarantee
138
493446
5137
可我们也了解到抗逆转录病毒治疗几乎能够确保
08:30
that she will not transmit
the virus to the baby.
the virus to the baby.
139
498607
2951
艾滋病毒携带的母体不会将病毒传染给婴儿。
08:33
So what do we do?
140
501860
1381
所以我们该怎么做？
08:35
Well, a one-size-fits-all approach,
kind of like that blast of chemo,
kind of like that blast of chemo,
141
503708
4562
我们将采取一种通用的治疗方法，
有点类似一种大范围的化疗，
08:40
would mean we test and treat
every pregnant woman in the world.
every pregnant woman in the world.
142
508294
3180
为此我们必须要检测和治疗世界上每一位孕妇。
08:43
That would do the job.
143
511952
1381
这样就能达成目标。
08:45
But it's just not practical.
144
513889
2252
可这显然是不现实的。
08:49
So instead, we target those areas
where HIV rates are the highest.
where HIV rates are the highest.
145
517223
5640
所以作为替代，我们针对那些艾滋病高发的地区。
08:55
We know in certain countries
in sub-Saharan Africa
in sub-Saharan Africa
146
523444
4377
在撒哈拉以南的非洲国家，
08:59
we can test and treat pregnant women
where rates are highest.
where rates are highest.
147
527845
4162
我们可以在艾滋病高发的地区检测和治疗孕妇。
09:04
This precision approach
to a public health problem
to a public health problem
148
532794
3158
这一针对公共健康问题的精确手段
09:07
has cut by nearly half
149
535976
2401
在近五年内
09:10
HIV transmission from mothers to baby
150
538401
2755
成功地将艾滋病毒的母婴传播率
09:13
in the last five years.
151
541180
1834
削减了将近一半。
09:15
(Applause)
152
543485
4365
（掌声）
09:20
Screening pregnant women
in certain areas in the developing world
in certain areas in the developing world
153
548945
5062
对于第三世界中特定地区的孕妇进行筛查
09:26
is a powerful example
154
554031
3104
充分展示了
09:29
of how precision public health
can change things on a big scale.
can change things on a big scale.
155
557159
5515
精准公共卫生能够如何大范围地改善现状。
09:36
So ...
156
564452
1151
所以
09:38
How do we do that?
157
566213
1177
我们将如何达成这一步？
09:39
We can do that because we know.
158
567414
2165
我们之所以能够实现是因为我们清楚。
09:41
We know who to target,
159
569896
2318
我们清楚该锁定哪一类人群，
09:44
what to target,
160
572238
1687
该锁定哪一项疾病，
09:45
where to target and how to target.
161
573949
2292
在什么环境进行锁定，以及如何进行锁定。
09:48
And that, for me, are the important
elements of precision public health:
elements of precision public health:
162
576685
4302
在我看来，这些都是精准公共卫生中最为重要的要素。
09:53
who, what, where and how.
163
581780
2288
什么人，什么疾病，什么地点，以及怎么做。
09:57
But let's go back
to the 2.6 million babies
to the 2.6 million babies
164
585814
3901
现在让我们再回到260万早夭的婴儿
10:01
who die before they're one month old.
165
589739
2017
他们夭折时都尚未满月。
10:03
Here's the problem: we just don't know.
166
591780
2260
其中最大的问题在于：我们一无所知。
这听起来可能非常荒谬，
10:06
It may seem unbelievable,
167
594753
2464
但是在那些婴儿早夭率居高不下的地区
10:09
but the way we figure out
the causes of infant mortality
the causes of infant mortality
168
597241
4863
我们探求其根本原因的途径
10:14
in those countries
with the highest infant mortality
with the highest infant mortality
169
602128
3011
仅仅是通过与那些母亲对话
10:17
is a conversation with mom.
170
605163
1996
一位卫生工作者向一位刚失去自己孩子的母亲提问，
10:19
A health worker asks a mom
who has just lost her child,
who has just lost her child,
171
607948
4378
”孩子过世前是否呕吐，是否有发烧？“
10:24
"Was the baby vomiting?
Did they have a fever?"
Did they have a fever?"
172
612350
3669
10:28
And that conversation may take place
173
616043
1949
而这一段对话也许就发生在
10:30
as long as three months
after the baby has died.
after the baby has died.
174
618016
3911
孩子夭折后仅仅三个月内
10:34
Now, put yourself
in the shoes of that mom.
in the shoes of that mom.
175
622951
3148
请在座各位站在那位母亲的角度想想，
10:39
It's a heartbreaking,
excruciating conversation.
excruciating conversation.
176
627239
3956
这是一场多么令人心碎与备受折磨的对话
10:43
And even worse -- it's not that helpful,
177
631833
2929
更糟的是，它对于我们的研究并没有多少帮助。
10:47
because we might know
there was a fever or vomiting,
there was a fever or vomiting,
178
635635
2953
因为即便我们得知孩子有发烧或呕吐的症状，
10:50
but we don't know why.
179
638612
1713
我们仍然不知道症状背后的根本原因。
10:53
So in the absence of knowing
that knowledge,
that knowledge,
180
641171
3482
因此由于缺少对此类事件的认知，
10:56
we cannot prevent that mom, that family,
181
644677
2982
我们对于如何帮助那位母亲和她的家庭
10:59
or other families in that community
182
647683
2098
乃至别的家庭免受同样的悲剧
11:01
from suffering the same tragedy.
183
649805
1948
仍然束手无策。
11:04
But what if we applied
a precision public health approach?
a precision public health approach?
184
652804
3474
但是假如我们能够在这些地区尝试精准公共卫生呢？
11:09
Let's say, for example,
185
657064
1394
比如说，
11:10
we find out in certain areas of Africa
186
658482
2934
我们发现在非洲的某些地区中，
11:13
that babies are dying
because of a bacterial infection
because of a bacterial infection
187
661440
3746
某种细菌感染导致了婴儿的夭折，
11:17
transferred from the mother to the baby,
188
665210
2547
而这种感染是由母体传给婴儿的，
11:19
known as Group B streptococcus.
189
667781
2473
这种细菌，我们称之为B群链球菌。
11:22
In the absence of treatment,
mom has a seven times higher chance
mom has a seven times higher chance
190
670999
5512
由于治疗条件的缺失，
这位母亲下一个孩子的死亡率将提高七倍。
11:28
that her next baby will die.
191
676535
2200
11:32
Once we define the problem,
we can prevent that death
we can prevent that death
192
680124
3901
一旦找出问题根源所在，我们就能用像青霉素一样
11:36
with something as cheap
and safe as penicillin.
and safe as penicillin.
193
684049
4083
相对便宜且安全的治疗手段来避免这类死亡。
11:41
We can do that because then we'll know.
194
689894
2551
我们能这么做是因为我们知道了原因，
11:45
And that's the point:
195
693034
1532
而接下来的便是重中之重：
11:46
once we know, we can bring
the right interventions
the right interventions
196
694590
3436
一旦我们弄清楚，我们就能在正确的地点
11:50
to the right population
in the right places
in the right places
197
698050
3539
向正确的人群对症下药
11:53
to save lives.
198
701613
1423
从而达到治病救人的目的
11:56
With this approach,
and with these interventions
and with these interventions
199
704973
3752
通过这种医疗尝试和这些介入治疗
12:00
and others like them,
200
708749
2025
以及其他类似手段，
12:02
I have no doubt
201
710798
1711
我坚信
12:04
that a precision public health approach
202
712533
2547
精准公共卫生方案
12:07
can help our world achieve
our 15-year goal.
our 15-year goal.
203
715104
3486
能够帮助我们实现“15年目标”
12:11
And that would translate
into a million babies' lives saved
into a million babies' lives saved
204
719423
4329
这一进步每一年
都能挽救近100万婴儿的生命。
12:15
every single year.
205
723776
1637
12:18
One million babies every single year.
206
726253
4310
每年挽救一百万个婴儿。
12:23
And why would we stop there?
207
731706
1842
同时我们绝不会止步于此，
12:26
A much more powerful approach
to public health --
to public health --
208
734319
3297
随后将是在公共卫生领域更为强有力的尝试。
12:29
imagine what might be possible.
209
737640
2765
请大家想象一下它所可能带来的无限可能。
12:32
Why couldn't we more effectively
tackle malnutrition?
tackle malnutrition?
210
740912
3389
营养不良将不再是问题。
12:37
Why wouldn't we prevent
cervical cancer in women?
cervical cancer in women?
211
745643
4277
宫颈癌也将不再是问题。
12:42
And why not eradicate malaria?
212
750832
2818
疟疾的根除将同样不再是问题。
12:45
(Applause)
213
753674
1001
（掌声）
12:46
Yes, clap for that!
214
754699
1213
没错，请为这一切鼓掌！
12:47
(Applause)
215
755936
3928
（掌声）
12:51
So, you know, I live
in two different worlds,
in two different worlds,
216
759888
2843
现在你们能了解到，我所生活的两个不同的世界，
12:54
one world populated by scientists,
217
762755
3208
其中一个都是科学家，
12:58
and another world populated
by public health professionals.
by public health professionals.
218
766590
3897
另一个则都是公共卫生领域的专家。
13:03
The promise of precision public health
219
771319
2428
精准公共卫生成功的关键
13:05
is to bring these two worlds together.
220
773771
2324
就在于它们的相互融合。
13:08
But you know, we all live in two worlds:
221
776876
3545
但同时你们也要明白，我们都活在另外两个世界中：
13:13
the rich world and the poor world.
222
781254
3079
富人的世界和穷人的世界。
13:17
And what I'm most excited about
about precision public health
about precision public health
223
785760
3850
而在这两个相距甚远的世界之间架起桥梁
13:21
is bridging these two worlds.
224
789634
2459
则是我对于精准公共卫生制度最为激动的部分。
13:25
Every day in the rich world,
225
793051
3020
就像在富人世界的每一天里，
13:28
we're bringing incredible
talent and tools --
talent and tools --
226
796095
3255
我们都以我们的需求为转移
13:31
everything at our disposal --
227
799374
1959
调动出色的人才和工具
13:33
to precisely target diseases
in ways I never imagined
in ways I never imagined
228
801357
4913
来以我从未想过的方式
13:38
would be possible.
229
806294
1834
精确地锁定疾病。
13:40
Surely, we can tap into
that kind of talent and tools
that kind of talent and tools
230
808152
5016
当然，我们可以深入地去挖掘相关领域的人才和工具
13:45
to stop babies dying in the poor world.
231
813192
2438
来阻止在贫困世界中婴儿的夭亡。
13:49
If we did,
232
817201
2049
如果我们真能够做到，
13:51
then every parent would have
the confidence
the confidence
233
819274
4057
那么每一位父母都将能够拥有
13:55
to name their child
the moment that child is born,
the moment that child is born,
234
823355
4328
在他们的孩子出生的那一刻就给予他们名字的信心，
14:00
daring to dream that that child's life
will be measured in decades,
will be measured in decades,
235
828746
5185
更能有勇气以数十年为单位去希冀孩子的未来，
14:06
not days.
236
834498
1244
而不是仅仅以天数去衡量婴儿的寿命。
14:08
Thank you.
237
836330
1151
谢谢。
14:09

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sue Desmond-Hellmann - CEO, Gates FoundationSue Desmond-Hellmann leads the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s mission to establish equity for every person.
Why you should listen
As CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Sue Desmond-Hellmann leads the organization's vision for a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life. Drawing on her diverse experience as scientist, physician and business executive, she oversees a variety of missions focused on eradicating disease, poverty and inequity. She leads 1,400 people, across four continents, working in more than 100 countries to help more children and young people survive and thrive, combat infectious diseases that hit the poorest hardest, and empower people -- particularly women and girls -- to transform their lives.
Trained as an oncologist, Dr. Desmond-Hellmann spent 14 years at biotech firm Genentech, developing a number of breakthrough medicines, including two of the first gene-targeted therapies for cancer, Avastin and Herceptin. In November 2009, Forbes magazine named her one of the world's seven most "powerful innovators," calling her "a hero to legions of cancer patients." Her time at Genentech put her at the forefront of the precision medicine revolution, and in her current role she champions a similar approach to global development: precision public health -- getting the right interventions, to the right populations, in the right places, to save lives.
Immediately prior to joining the foundation in 2014, Dr. Desmond-Hellmann was the first female chancellor of the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), overseeing all aspects of the university and medical center's strategy and operations. It was her second stint at UCSF, having completed her clinical training there in the 1980s. She moved to Uganda in 1989 to work on HIV/AIDS and cancer, which she credits as a turning point in her career. "It was so profound to recognize ... that all the learning I had done to become a doctor didn't matter at all if I didn’t make a contribution," she said.
Dr. Desmond-Hellmann is the recipient of numerous honors and awards. She was listed among Fortune magazine's "50 most powerful women in business" for seven years. In 2010, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and elected to the Institute of Medicine. She serves on the boards of directors at Facebook Inc. and the Procter & Gamble Company.
