What "hard means" are needed for epidemic prevention and control in the second half?

The government work report pointed out that at present, the epidemic has not yet ended and the development task is extremely arduous. Under the dual pressure of external defense investment and internal defense rebound, what "hard means" should be taken to play the "second half" of epidemic prevention and control?

Make up the "short board" of epidemic prevention and treatment materials

Among the key medical tasks listed in the government work report, medical facilities for epidemic prevention and treatment, mobile laboratories and emergency supplies have attracted the attention of deputies.

"The key medical tasks proposed in the report are very targeted." Zhang Boli, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that in order to prevent the shortage of medical materials caused by the epidemic, the short board of epidemic prevention and treatment materials should be filled as soon as possible.

How to make up the short board? "Combination of peacetime and wartime" has become the key.

"At that time, some hospitals did not have ventilators and movable CT, which were all temporarily deployed." 1When Zhang Boli arrived in Wuhan on October 27th, the epidemic situation was grim. He suggested amending the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases and improving the storage and deployment system of epidemic prevention strategic materials, which can be used in peacetime and wartime.

In the battle with COVID-19, the mobile laboratory has made great contributions. During the peak period of epidemic prevention and control in Lan Shu, Jilin Province, P3 mobile laboratory supported by China CDC undertook a large number of nucleic acid detection tasks.

Hua Shucheng, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Bethune First Hospital of Jilin University, believes that at present, the nucleic acid detection ability of county-level medical institutions in China is still very weak. Under the background of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to use mobile laboratory as a supplementary force for emergency detection.

"At the beginning of the epidemic, I deeply felt the shortage of emergency supplies, which brought great challenges to the prevention and control of the epidemic." Ada, deputy to the National People's Congress and vice president of the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, suggested that emergency supplies should be prepared jointly by the state and the people. Non-governmental reserves can give full play to the advantages of market-oriented reserves of enterprises, and solve the realistic demand that the current reserve varieties are single and the reserve scale is difficult to cope with the catastrophe.

Public health management has promoted the "progress" of treating obstacles.

Under the test of the COVID-19 epidemic, the deployment of "strengthening the construction of public health system" in the government work report was considered by many deputies as "a timely move and a long-term policy".

As a democratic party with more medical and health intellectuals, the Central Committee of the Agricultural Workers' Party proposed to build a modern public health management system that meets the needs of major epidemic prevention and emergency management, strengthen the training and basic research of professionals in the fields of public health and biosafety, and vigorously improve the health literacy of the whole society.

"After the outbreak, it is very important to learn painful lessons and improve the public health system. It is very important to pay attention to the combination of medicine and prevention. " Wang Chen, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of China Academy of Medical Sciences, made suggestions.

At this end of the hospital, under the test of epidemic situation, general hospitals and infectious disease hospitals are exploring better participation in public health management and promoting the "forward movement" of treatment.

More than a month ago, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province established the Center for Disease Prevention and Control and Public Health Clinical Management, and established a four-level linkage medical prevention system among cities, counties and villages.

Running for this matter is Wen, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Party Committee of Cangzhou Central Hospital in Hebei Province. When she went deep into the grassroots to carry out epidemic prevention and control, she deeply felt that the disease control departments and general hospitals should form a joint force at ordinary times, and suggested that local general hospitals play a leading role in managing and developing grass-roots disease control institutions and infectious disease hospitals well. When the epidemic strikes, this model helps to coordinate operations.

Scientific treatment wins the second half of epidemic prevention and control

As an expert in cardiothoracic surgery, Chen Jingyu, deputy director of the People's Hospital of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, completed lung transplantation for many patients with advanced pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19. During the epidemic, he also proposed the establishment of a national lung transplant team and other suggestions, which were adopted.

Wang Chen also suggested setting up the National Academy of Medical Sciences and the Medical Health Science Fund to fully stimulate the vitality of medical research and cultivate a strategic force of medical science and technology that is at the forefront of global medical science and technology and can undertake the national mission.

During this year's epidemic, Internet technology played a great role in the medical field. How to further promote information technology to play a greater role in the field of health and epidemic prevention?

To promote science and technology to fight the epidemic, we must first refine the rules. Niu Chaoshi, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of neurosurgery in the First Hospital of Chinese University of Science and Technology, suggested that the state should strictly follow the access procedures for Internet hospitals and medical activities and keep the bottom line of service quality and safety.

To promote science and technology to fight the epidemic, we must also improve the information construction at the grassroots level. Feng Yidong, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy mayor of Dongying City, Shandong Province, suggested that by building and using a grid information data work platform, functional modules such as grid map, information collection, event processing and big data analysis and judgment should be set up to improve the "grid+informatization" level of grassroots public health governance.

As Zhu Tongyu, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, said, it is necessary to reserve software and hardware, and establish and improve public health facilities to deal with major epidemics. "Meeting the challenge of infectious diseases will be a long-term task. We need to plan ahead and make a long-term layout.
