Wu Fan, Deputy Dean of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University: With so many inbound flights, Shanghai can control it by a complete system
China News Service, September 22 (Zheng Yingying) "Shanghai was the first country in the country to reform the disease prevention and control system," Wu Fan, deputy dean of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, said in a recent interview.
She is one of the "most beautiful scientific and technological workers" selected by Shanghai in 2020.
She said that from the point of view of the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic this time, Shanghai’s disease prevention and control system is still very complete. “If there is no sound disease prevention and control system, just rely on downstream (medical institutions) to reduce inventory, not upstream control increments. If it does, it won’t solve the problem."
Wu Fan has been engaged in scientific research on public health and disease control for nearly 30 years, and has innovated and established an acute respiratory infection (SARI) monitoring and early warning system across the country.
After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, she suggested that Shanghai adopt precise prevention and control measures of "detecting patients in time + rapid infection tracing + 100% close isolation".
Wu Fan believes that some European countries have better medical conditions than ours, but they still collapsed. One important point is that Shanghai, as a densely populated city, has a disease prevention and control system that can trace the source of infection and can cover all of them. To define close contacts.
According to official data released by Shanghai, as of 24:00 on September 20, Shanghai has reported a total of 342 local cases; 632 imported confirmed cases abroad, 584 cured and discharged, and 48 hospitalized (including 1 severe).
There is 1 suspected case to be investigated.
Wu Fan said that with so many inbound flights landing in Shanghai, Shanghai can control it by a complete system: the public health system and the government governance system.
"Diagnosis", "Retrospective" and "Isolation", these three words are the key to the control of the epidemic that Wu Fan emphasized.
"It is not easy to achieve these three, but we have high-level medical institutions, a responsive disease prevention and control system, and a complete online community health care service center," said Wu Fan.
As an expert in public health, Wu Fan takes the lead in the Shanghai emergency scientific research project "Shanghai New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemiology Research", focusing on the transmission capacity and mode of new coronary pneumonia, and building a basic model to accurately predict the occurrence and development of the epidemic And early warning, developed the "intelligent infectious disease traceability management system" to help close contacts and trace the source of infection of infected persons. The six major research results were released in March this year and applied in time for epidemic prevention and control.
Wu Fan said that she was prepared for danger in times of peace, and she was also worried that after the epidemic, everyone had healed their scars and forgotten the pain, and ignored the importance of public health. She emphasized that the goal pursued by public health is: "There is nothing wrong in the world." (Finish)
