78.2 years old - the latest average life expectancy in my country.
The improvement of this key indicator reflecting people's health is inseparable from the perseverance and love of the majority of health and wellness workers.
On August 19, nearly 14 million health and wellness workers across the country will celebrate their own holiday - China Physician's Day.
"Cultivating medical ethics, practicing benevolence, cherishing the heart of saving suffering, and being a great doctor for the common people" "Make new contributions to building a healthy China and improving people's health and well-being"...
Bearing in mind the ardent hope and entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, on the new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, the majority of medical workers carry forward the spirit of "respect for life, save the dying, be willing to give, and love without bounds", and support the world's largest medical and health care workers. The service system is dedicated to safeguarding the health and well-being of more than 1.4 billion people.
The eternal pursuit of great doctors for the people
In March 2022, a flower named "Xiaohui" will always be fixed in this spring.
Bai Xiaohui, former deputy director of the Clinical Medical Laboratory Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital, died of a sudden illness when she was rushing to aid Weihai to fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
She has fought on the front line of epidemic prevention and control in Beijing, Xinjiang, Henan and other places, and led her team to create a speed of 48 hours to transform nucleic acid testing laboratories... Bai Xiaohui used her young life to fulfill the promise of a good doctor to the people.
"Protecting life with life is the eternal pursuit of doctors." Du Bin, an advanced individual in the country's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic and an expert in critical care medicine, has pulled patients back from death countless times.
In his eyes, the people are supreme, life is priceless, and skill and virtue are the best measures.

With more than 70 years of hanging pot, Xu Runsan, a 96-year-old master of traditional Chinese medicine, still sticks to the front line of clinical practice.
Qian said that "it's enough to study one disease in a lifetime", and Dr. Xu has helped countless infertile women realize their "mother's dream".
On September 16, 2021, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital held the first apprenticeship ceremony for the inheritance of the academic experience of old Chinese medicine experts in Beijing.
Chinese medicine master Xu Runsan and his inheritors took a group photo at the apprenticeship ceremony.

The prescriptions prescribed are cheap, have few medicinal flavors, and have good curative effects. He never refuses the requests of patients from remote areas for a plus... Xu Runsan taught young doctors: "Medicine is benevolent, and a doctor can't be cold."
Others talk about "hemp" discoloration, but Li Huanying, an expert in leprosy prevention and treatment, is never afraid.
She creatively used new treatments to relieve the suffering of tens of thousands of leprosy patients.
"Let the lepers live with dignity." Li Huanying has always been in close contact with them: she drinks the water in the patient's house with her head raised; the patient tries to shake hands with her, but she does not loosen it for a long time...
Ordinary "heroes" warm the people.
my country's rural doctors have long been rooted at the grassroots level and have contributed to maintaining the health of the masses.
In the vast Miaoling Mountains in Anlong County, Guizhou Province, the busy figure of "Doctor with a Basket" Pan Feng is indispensable.
A medicine chest, a back for more than 20 years.
The mountain road is rugged, the weather is bad, and no matter how far away it is, the village doctor Pan Feng from Lugoutang Village, Puping Town, has to rush to the patient's home as soon as possible.
"The most beautiful doctor" Pan Feng had the opportunity to develop in a big city, but was willing to be a grassroots health guard.
In this regard, she never regretted: "Let Miao people not worry about seeing a doctor, it's worth it!"
In cities and villages, in diagnosis and treatment rooms, in ambulance stations, in outpatient wards, in laboratories... In response to the party's call, the vast number of medical personnel in our country wholeheartedly serve the people's health, and play a role in disease prevention and treatment, medical technology development, etc. It has played an important role and achieved fruitful results, and a large number of medical masters and people's good doctors have emerged.
Since 2018, the "Chinese Physician's Day" has been established on August 19 every year, and the majority of medical staff have had their own festival since then.

Under the leadership of the party, the development and construction of my country's medical team has achieved fruitful results.
By the end of 2021, the total number of health personnel in my country will reach 13.983 million, including 4.287 million licensed physicians and licensed assistant physicians, covering all major medical specialties such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, and 3.04 licensed (assistant) physicians per thousand population.
Adhering to the principle of people first and life first, and taking all-round and full-cycle protection of people's health as its own responsibility, the vast number of health and health workers support China's strong medical and health service system.
Respect for life and climb to the top of medical innovation
Medical staff not only need to face the thrilling, life-and-death struggle, but also need to walk between the microscopic and rejuvenate.
Chinese doctors strive to overcome major diseases and incurable diseases, and continue to challenge the "Mount Everest" of medical problems.
On the roof of the world, an old man in his 80s leads a medical team, and has been trekking on the road closest to the blue sky and white clouds all the year round.
He is Wu Tianyi, the recipient of the "July 1st Medal".
Rooted in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and practicing medicine for more than 50 years, Wu Tianyi promoted my country's plateau medicine from scratch, from weak to strong, and created the miracle of "zero death" of acute altitude sickness in the 140,000 road construction army.
Despite 14 fractures all over his body and his eardrums were punctured, Wu Tianyi was still trekking in his old age, "I will continue to fight altitude sickness to the end!"

In order to find the best point for acupuncture and anesthesia, he was the first to carry out lung transplantation in my country, and completed more than 15,000 thoracic surgeries in 50 years. .
As the pioneer and founder of thoracic surgery in New China, he often said: "The frog at the bottom of the well can't be done! With every step forward, doctors can save more patients!"
The persistent pursuit of the older generation is used by more and more young people as a "practice guide".
For a large number of patients with spinal deformities, early diagnosis and early intervention are of great significance.
However, the etiological diagnosis of spinal deformity has been blank internationally.
"Illness pushes people to a cliff, and there is no innovative 'dare' strength, how can we pull them back?"
The 26th "China Youth May Fourth Medal" winner, orthopedic surgeon Wu Nan, has been persistently exploring for more than ten years, and worked with the team to build the largest genetic research system of spinal deformities, revealing the most important genetic pathogenic factors of congenital scoliosis. The "Chinese model" of congenital scoliosis was proposed, and an important breakthrough was achieved.
To build a healthy China, one cannot be missing.
Difficulty in diagnosis, treatment, and high cost have put 20 million rare disease patients in a difficult situation.
How to hold up hope for them?
As the national leading hospital of the rare disease diagnosis and treatment collaboration network, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has established a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment platform for rare diseases since 2019, and adopted a "one-stop treatment plan" to shorten the average diagnosis time of rare disease patients from the previous 4 years to no to 4 weeks.
"Always uphold the lasting innovation spirit, never give up every life, unremittingly build a 'high-end' team of doctors, and continuously promote the 'Chinese solution' to solve the problem of rare disease prevention and treatment." said Zhang Shuyang, president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

People's health is the foundation of social civilization and progress.
Having healthy people means having stronger comprehensive national strength and sustainable development capability.
In 2021, my country's average life expectancy will be 78.2 years, an increase of nearly 4 years in 10 years; the main health indicators will be in the forefront of middle- and high-income countries; the mortality rate of pregnant women, infants and children under 5 years old will all drop to the lowest level in history...
Behind the dazzling transcript is the hard work of the majority of health and wellness workers to develop medical technology and improve the quality of medical care.
They use their superb medical skills and high-quality services to continuously improve the health and well-being of the people, and the path of health and health development with Chinese characteristics is getting wider and wider.
Daoji Tianxia writes a warm answer sheet for a healthy China
Serious diseases can be solved in this province, common diseases can be solved in cities and counties, headaches and brain fever can be solved in towns and villages - "seeing a doctor" and "seeing a good doctor" are the expectations of the masses and the direction of deepening medical reform.
Sanming Medical Reform is famous all over the country.
Now, something new has emerged here: when village doctors prescribe medicines for villagers, they will issue "three prescriptions" at a time: prescriptions for medicines, prescriptions for daily activities, and prescriptions for diet.
"Faced with the new needs of the masses, we must find ways to be a good health 'gatekeeper'. We must do more 'prevention' work at the grassroots level and do more refined health management." said Sun Xianrong, a local rural doctor.
On November 18, 2020, residents consulted and went through procedures at the Medical Insurance Office of the First Hospital of Sanming City, Fujian Province.

"To establish a doctor for the people, a doctor must have professional respect and a good deed." said Wang Chen, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College.
The annual total number of medical and health care institutions in the country exceeds 8 billion. The problem of seeing a doctor in the most populous country in the world is far from being solved by a few top-three hospitals.
Putting the maintenance of people's health in a more prominent position, the majority of medical workers play the role of the main force in medical reform, and write a new chapter in protecting people's health.
17 national medical centers in 10 categories have been deployed across the country, 26 national regional medical centers have been piloted in 8 provinces; 15,000 medical consortia have been established, and the average price of selected drugs in 7 batches of centralized procurement has been reduced by more than 50%...
This year, we will continue to promote the construction of national medical centers and national regional medical centers, continue to promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment and optimize the order of medical treatment.
Talent is the key to promoting the high-quality development of health care and promoting the construction of a healthy China.
By 2025, the total number of health personnel will reach 16 million, the ratio of medical and nursing staff in public hospitals will gradually reach about 1:2, and health technicians in primary medical and health institutions will account for more than 75%. The Healthy Talents Development Plan puts forward new goals.
Health is linked to life.
Only by allowing the majority of medical workers to diagnose and practice with confidence, can patients be treated calmly and treated in an orderly manner.
The "Physician Law of the People's Republic of China", which came into effect on March 1, 2022, clarifies that the whole society should respect and care for doctors, and promote the formation of a good atmosphere of respect for doctors and health care in the whole society.
"Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline, "Guiding Opinions on Establishing a Long-term Mechanism for Protecting, Caring and Caring for Medical Personnel"... my country has issued a series of planning and guiding documents, from the salary and treatment of medical workers, development space, practice environment, etc. Aspects give top-level design and specification guidance.
"Place the protection of people's health in the strategic position of priority development" - this is the solemn commitment of the party and the state to attach importance to people's lives and health, and it is also the fundamental principle for medical workers to contribute to improving people's health.
By 2025, my country's average life expectancy will continue to increase by about 1 year on the basis of 2020. The "14th Five-Year Plan for National Health" draws a heart-warming picture.
"Health is the most important indicator of a happy life. To accelerate the construction of a healthy China, the majority of health workers should cherish the rare historical opportunity." The relevant person in charge of the National Health and Health Commission said that we must firmly establish the concept of big health and big health, and give full play to medical care. The main force of workers is to write a warm answer sheet that makes the lives of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people better.
