Li Keqiang emphasized when inspecting the national new crown pneumonia drug medical device emergency platform
Intensify research on reagents, drugs and vaccines
Strengthen the ability and confidence in scientific prevention and control to overcome the epidemic
On February 28, Li Keqiang, member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, Premier of the State Council, and leader of the Central Leadership Group for New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Situation, went to the National New Crown Pneumonia Drug Medical Device Emergency Platform Inspection. He emphasized that it is necessary to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping ’s important speech, follow the deployment of the Central Leadership Group to respond to the epidemic situation, seize the key links that are urgently needed, make greater efforts to tackle medical technology, and strive to quickly test reagents, effective drugs and vaccines. Make greater breakthroughs and add tools to defeat the epidemic.
The person in charge of the relevant department reported the development and application of new coronary pneumonia detection reagents. China took the lead in developing nucleic acid detection reagents, and the current production volume can meet the needs. In addition, it has also developed antibody detection reagents and can simultaneously identify new coronary pneumonia and other five respiratory diseases. Detection reagent. Li Keqiang affirmed this. He said that the detection reagents played a key role in the epidemic prevention and control. The next step is to develop reagents with shorter detection time, more accurate results and simpler operations. Supporting and personnel training to enhance detection capabilities and better early detection, which is conducive to early isolation and early treatment, curb the spread of the epidemic, and improve the cure rate.
Experts introduced that after scientific trials and clinical explorations, some effective Chinese and Western medicines for minor and severe diseases have been researched and developed, and some drugs are undergoing clinical trials. Li Keqiang carefully asked about the effects and safety of these drugs. He said that drugs are the nemesis of the virus. The whole society is eagerly looking forward to this. To do a good job of screening and clinical trials, there are not many types. The key is to focus on selecting several safe and reliable main drugs with significant clinical effects to allow medical staff. Better use with the masses, more effective treatment of critically ill patients, lower mortality rates, and more effective prevention of mild to severe illnesses, so it is more confident to restrain the virus and defeat the epidemic.
Li Keqiang is particularly concerned about the development of vaccines, and understands in detail the progress of several current technical routes and when clinical trials can be carried out. He said that various measures have been taken to prevent and control the epidemic, but ultimately a vaccine is needed to overcome the epidemic. Vaccine research and development must continue to increase efforts, not only to push forward and produce products early, but also to respect the laws of science, strictly in accordance with standards to ensure quality, mobilize superior forces in all aspects to cooperate face-to-face, focus on research and joint research, and aim at key directions to strengthen international cooperation Develop a safe and effective vaccine as soon as possible to reassure the masses.
Li Keqiang urged the relevant departments to closely follow up the development of reagents, drugs and vaccines, actively strengthen docking services, improve supervision, and improve the efficiency of verification and review and approval without reducing standards. Increase support for research and development, promote the formation of joint forces, improve the quality of research and development, and achieve results that stand the test. At the same time, it will strengthen the overall coordination of the release of research and development results, and issue an authoritative voice in a timely manner to ensure that the public has accurate and reliable information. Li Keqiang encouraged platform staff to take the initiative to perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities, and responded urgently to emergency and special events required by the frontline of epidemic prevention and scientific research, and encouraged medical researchers and medical staff to continue to race against time, strengthen research and treatment, rely on science, and use sophisticated weapons Defeat the epidemic.
