接下来，是一篇反映美国政府观点的社论。
The United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, is partnering with the Government of Pakistan’s Sindh province on a children’s anti-typhoid campaign by donating 250,000 medical disposable syringes.
美国国际开发署（USAID）正在与巴基斯坦信德省政府合作，捐赠了25万支医用一次性注射器，用以支持当地儿童的抵抗伤寒行动。
After the Sindh Department of Health noticed a recent rise in the number of drug-resistant typhoid cases, it asked USAID for assistance.The syringes USAID is supplying will help immunize 250,000 children against a drug-resistant strain of typhoid reported in Latifabad and Qasimabad, two sub-districts of Hyderabad, Sindh.
信德省卫生部门在近期注意到当地耐药性伤寒病例有所增加，于是即向美国国际开发署寻求援助。美国国际开发署供应的注射器将帮助25万名儿童对一种伤寒耐药菌株产生免疫，该菌株病例近日在信德省海德拉巴的Latifabad和Qasimabad两个下属区都有报道。
Oghale Oddo, USAID’s Acting Deputy Mission Director for Sindh and Balochistan, said,“Our support for the government’s Typhoid outbreak control activities exemplifies the strength of our ongoing partnership.USAID will continue to support the Government of Sindh in their efforts to institutionalize evidence-based care.”
美国国际开发署信德省和俾路支省代理副主任Oghale Oddo表示：“美国对当地政府控制伤寒爆发行动的支持帮助，体现了两国正在进行的伙伴关系优势。美国国际开发署将继续对信德省政府提供支持，助力其循证医疗的制度化。“
The U.S. Government, through USAID, has supported the Government of Sindh for over five years to save the lives of children by ensuring that they have improved access to basic health services.
美国政府通过美国国际开发署向信德省政府提供支持已超过五年之久。五年来，美国通过确保更多当地儿童能够享受到基本医疗，已挽救了无数儿童的生命。
Since the inception of this program, USAID has partnered with the Government of Pakistan to save lives, strengthen families and communities, and develop a healthier workforce.Over the last five years alone,USAID has provided over 9.4 million women and children with life-saving maternal, child, and reproductive health care services;trained more than 50,000 people on evidence-based health care interventions for women and children; and supported the governments of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to meet women’s family planning needs.
自此项行动启动以来，美国国际开发署就一直与巴基斯坦政府合作，拯救生命、加强家庭和社区纽带、培养更健康的劳动力队伍。仅在过去五年中：美国国际开发署就向940多万名妇女和儿童提供了拯救孕产妇及儿童生命的医疗服务和生殖保健服务；对5万多人进行了针对妇女儿童的循证医疗干预措施培训；还为信德省、旁遮普省、俾路支省和开伯尔－普赫图赫瓦省政府提供支持，以满足当地妇女的计划生育需要。
