China News Service, January 26 (Reporter Chen Jing) Infectious diseases have a huge impact on social and economic life.
The current new crown pneumonia epidemic that is still raging around the world poses a huge threat to human health, and the promotion of the construction of the public health system has become a hot topic.
At the Fifth Session of the 15th Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress held here on the 26th, a number of NPC deputies focused on the standardized construction of the infectious disease prevention and control system.
Shanghai Municipal People's Congress representative Zhang Wenhong is also the leader of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Clinical Treatment Expert Team.
Zhang Wenhong hopes that by advancing the construction of a hierarchical and regional emergency medical treatment system, the treatment network will be improved, and other medical services will be formed by "municipal designated hospitals-municipal diagnosis and treatment centers-regional diagnosis and treatment centers-district diagnosis and treatment centers-community health service centers. The clinical diagnosis and treatment system of infectious diseases constituted by institutions.
He frankly admitted that there is a serious brain drain in infection and infectious diseases in hospitals, and believes that the workload of the infection and infection system should be given appropriate support as part of the public health system.
He called for the establishment of a “reserve” system for emergency medical treatment of public health incidents; at the same time, it should strengthen the integration of public health and clinical disciplines, and increase the construction and reserve of talents for the disease control system and the clinical infection and infectious disease treatment system.
Zhang Wenhong believes that the new crown virus has gradually evolved from a new virus in nature to a resident virus in human society. The next stage of fighting against the new crown will enter a "protracted war."
Zhang Wenhong said: "If we compare our will with the virus at the beginning of the epidemic, and control the virus through non-medical interventions, we will mainly rely on the advanced public health system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the government in the future." It was pointed out that since this epidemic, Shanghai has generally performed well in response to the new crown epidemic. By gathering the strength of the city to gather at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, it has effectively responded to domestic and international imported epidemics.
Zhang Wenhong bluntly said, however, that the power of the city can only be emergency for a short time, and cannot deal with the prolonged epidemic and the subsequent normalized anti-epidemic.
"In terms of long-term anti-epidemic, we must rely on a city-wide and balanced public health system to implement anti-epidemic work into daily work in order to ensure the sensitivity of the entire city to the invasion of infectious diseases and the normalized control of infectious diseases.
He bluntly said that the arduous and long-term nature of future epidemic prevention challenges may exceed most people's imagination.
Faced with the aging of cities, the spread of drug-resistant bacterial infections, the increase in imported diseases and the uncontrollable risks of unknown infectious diseases, the future demand for infectious disease prevention and control systems is diverse, open, and changeable: not limited to the new crown, etc. The prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases also faces the challenges of various other viral infectious diseases, bacterial fungal diseases, as well as the control of hospital infections and the response to bacterial resistance.
According to Zhang Wenhong, the current infection and infectious disease disciplines in major hospitals in Shanghai are generally weak.
At present, there are only five tertiary hospitals (general hospitals) with a complete infectious disease discipline system, and only three secondary hospitals.
In Zhang Wenhong's view, once the world opens up and the epidemic becomes normalized, efforts must be strengthened to cope with the prolonged and normalized epidemic, and to ensure the sensitivity of the public health early warning system and the integrity of the treatment system.
Zhang Wenhong also pointed out that in response to the needs of "traceable, diagnosable, preventable, curable, and controllable", investment in scientific research should be increased, and the system and capacity building for epidemic prevention and control and public health science and technology should be strengthened.
It is reported that Shanghai took the lead in formulating and implementing the "20 Public Health Regulations."
Chen Liang, a representative of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, proposed that the construction of "big science" facilities for newly emerging infectious diseases should be accelerated.
He believes that the key to efficient prevention and control and effective treatment of emerging infectious diseases is the development and marketing of vaccines, drugs and antibodies, and explained that "big scientific" facilities refer to non-human primate biosafety tertiary laboratories , The P3 laboratory for large animals.
He hopes to accelerate the construction of the non-human primate biosafety three-level laboratory to help the development of the infectious disease biomedical industry of the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center.
How to transform the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases from "passive prevention and control" to "active prevention and control" mode?
Chen Liang said that the top-level design at the government level should be to establish a strategic reserve of vaccines for emerging infectious diseases.
"This reserve pool will be the country's important weapon and be regarded as a'hard core technology' guarantee system in the field of public health." He also proposed the establishment of the Yangtze River Delta Emergency Medical Center and the establishment of a regional emergency medical center with both emergency treatment and pathogen diagnosis. With multiple functions of identification, R&D and innovation, it has become the "Rocket Army" that guarantees national biosafety and clinical treatment.
Song Yaojun, another representative of the National People's Congress, believes that Shanghai should actively participate in global public health governance. While establishing a special project for the introduction of global public health leaders and a special project for overseas training of high-end talents, it fully integrates "inviting in" and "going out." By participating in the design and implementation of important international cooperation projects, participating in WHO policy recommendations, guideline formulation and related randomized controlled trials and studies, etc., guide global health-related decisions and actions.
