An Empirical And Countermeasure Study Of Intercountry Emergency Health Cooperation To Suppress COVID-19 Transnational Epidemics

As the global fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic continues to struggle,the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has been "lying down" among countries against the backdrop of the mutating novel coronavirus and the inability of the new coronavirus vaccine to immunize against the virus.This action has made the global epidemic situation even more critical as it tries to coexist with the virus in a situation where the new coronavirus continues to mutate.In light of this study,the research question was raised as to whether emergency health cooperation among countries could be a fundamental approach for countries to contain the COVID-19 transnational pandemic.To demonstrate the research question,the study uses public goods theory and externality theory,based on a literature review,to theorize on the issue and demonstrate the importance of the study from an empirical perspective.The study then used qualitative comparative analysis and sorted out the basic characteristics of various infectious diseases,and concluded that intercountry emergency health cooperation was a necessary variable for the success of transnational epidemics of infectious diseases in the last five decades,and that the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak had the basic characteristics of a general pandemic and was a representative study subject.Accordingly,the research hypothesis was formulated.To demonstrate the causal mechanism,the study divided the variables of intercountry emergency health cooperation into three policy actions,namely,"medical material assistance" "dispatch of medical experts" and "vaccine assistance".The policy effects were explored separately.In the demonstration process,the study used double difference and instrumental variables methods to conduct baseline regressions and in-depth studies on the research questions,and found that:(1)the policy action of medical material assistance did not inhibit the spread of novel coronavirus pneumonia in recipient countries;(2)the policy action of sending medical expert groups did inhibit the spread of COVID-19 in recipient countries,but it was not significant.The study was unable to further discuss the specific content of the work of the dispatched medical expert group;(3)after excluding selective bias,the earlier the timing of vaccine assistance,the better the suppression of the new crown epidemic in recipient countries,indirectly demonstrating that vaccine assistance can suppress the cross-country epidemic of COVID-19.(4)The study also demonstrated that vaccine assistance can act as an instrumental variable.Based on the results,the study proposed the policy of reforming the functions of the World Health Organization to respond to future pandemics;strengthening intercountry public health communication and national consensus on cooperative epidemic prevention;forming global and regional vaccine assistance mechanisms and equitable distribution of vaccine resources;playing an active role of different emergency health cooperation tools in different phases of pandemics;and playing an active role of regional cooperation to fill the vacuum of international cooperation in emergency health Recommendations.The ability of the study to isolate and demonstrate the transnational epidemiological effects of intercountry emergency health cooperation on COVID-19 is the greatest innovation of the study,and the policy recommendations made in the study will provide solutions to overcome the dilemma of intercountry efforts to combat the new pandemic,reduce the number of confirmed cases in the country,and accelerate the end of the pandemic,which will be important for dealing with the next pandemic.
