[During the study] On March 2nd, Xi Jinping inspected the research work on the prevention and control of New Crown Pneumonia in Beijing. This is the second time Xi Jinping has visited the front line of prevention and control in less than one month since the investigation and guidance on February 10. What important requirements did the General Secretary put forward during this inspection? What strategic deployment is made? Xinhua News Agency's "Learning in Progress" original brand column "Workshop" has published an article for you to interpret.
On March 2, Xi Jinping went to the Military Medical Research Institute and Tsinghua University School of Medicine to conduct an investigation and study, chaired a symposium and delivered an important speech. This is the second time Xi Jinping has visited the front line of prevention and control in less than one month since the investigation and guidance on February 10.
From the itinerary, we can see that the scientific epidemic was the focus of the general secretary's investigation.
"The key to defeating the epidemic depends on technology."
Humanity's victory over catastrophes and epidemics is often closely linked to scientific development and technological innovation. In Xi Jinping's deployment of the "epidemic" of war, scientific prevention and control is a clear main line.
During the inspection, various itinerary arrangements were carried out closely around scientific research and diagnosis and treatment.
At the Military Medical Research Institute, Xi Jinping listened to the Institute's general report on scientific research on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and learned about the development of vaccines and antibodies, drug screening, research on the pathogenic mechanism of viruses, and research and application of rapid detection reagents. At Tsinghua University School of Medicine, Xi Jinping walked into the laboratory to learn more about the development of innovative drugs and the development and application of new detection reagents and detection equipment, and watched the ongoing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
"The most powerful weapon that human beings have against diseases is science and technology." Xi Jinping emphasized that the key to improving the cure rate, reducing the mortality rate, and ultimately defeating the epidemic depends on science and technology.
He said that there are two fronts in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, one is the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and the other is scientific research and material production. The two fronts must cooperate and fight side by side.
Like the medical staff who fought on the front lines in the fight against the epidemic, the scientific front and the broad masses of scientific researchers also played an important role in this major struggle.
In this epidemic, the People's Army, as always, played an extremely important "main force" and "commando" role. Xi Jinping pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Military Medical Research Institute has resolutely implemented the decision-making instructions of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and has been moving quickly to focus on the emergency scientific research. It has achieved staged results and fully demonstrated the loyalty of the People ’s Army to the Party. , Loyal to the people's political character and good style of dare to fight tough battles.
During the inspection, Xi Jinping expressed his cordial condolences to the front-line experts and scientific researchers who persisted in their posts and worked hard to solve the problem, and highly affirmed the excellent style and rigorous professionalism of the majority of scientific and technological workers, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts and master more of their own knowledge The core technology of property rights has come up with more hard-core products, making greater contributions to safeguarding people's lives and health, and maintaining national strategic security.
At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in the country is expanding positively. However, winning the people's war, general war, and siege war of epidemic prevention and control cannot be achieved overnight, and hard work is still required.
"The more we face this situation, the more we must insist on asking answers and methods from science." Xi Jinping said earnestly.
"Major scientific and technological achievements in the fields of life safety and biosafety are also the most important tool of the country"
The new crown pneumonia epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest range of infections, and the most difficult prevention and control in China since the founding of New China.
China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult and difficult it is to prevent and resolve major outbreaks and major public health risks. Xi Jinping stressed that for us, this is a crisis and a big test.
"We must take scientific research on the prevention and control of new crown pneumonia as a major and urgent task." During this inspection, Xi Jinping pointed out the direction on how to scientifically prepare for the "test"-comprehensive multidisciplinary forces, unified leadership, and coordinated advancement. Adhere to scientificity and ensure safety on the basis of accelerating the progress of research and development, as soon as possible to overcome the key and difficult issues of epidemic prevention and control, and provide strong scientific and technological support to win the epidemic prevention and control of people's war, general war, and obstruction war.
Facing the onslaught of the epidemic, it is necessary to take decisive and timely heavy measures, and it is also inseparable from a long-term comprehensive consideration. At the symposium, Xi Jinping put forward a series of requirements, and after reading it carefully, he revealed his in-depth consideration of the overall work of the entire epidemic prevention and control.
Major infectious diseases and biosecurity risks are major risks and challenges that are related to national security and development and to the stability of the overall society. In this regard, Xi Jinping put forward four requirements:
-It is necessary to take biosecurity as an important part of overall national security, adhere to the combination of peacetime and wartime, prevention and emergency response, scientific research and treatment prevention and control, and strengthen the epidemic prevention and control and public health scientific research system and capacity building.
——We must coordinate scientific research forces in all aspects to improve the ability and level of systematic confrontation.
——Strengthen strategic planning and forward-looking layout, improve the early-warning and forecasting mechanism for epidemic prevention, control, and timely capture information effectively and take timely response measures.
——It is necessary to study and establish a command, action, and support system for scientific research and other key issues after the epidemic has spread into an emergency, and usually prepare emergency operation guides to start quickly in an emergency.
Major scientific and technological achievements in the fields of life safety and biosafety are also the most important tools of the country. Epidemic prevention and control and public health emergency systems are important components of the national strategic system.
Standing at the national level, Xi Jinping made strategic plans for related work-to improve the new national system for key core technology research, accelerate the deployment of scientific research forces in areas such as population health and biosecurity, and integrate life sciences, biotechnology, medicine, health care, and medical equipment. Key national scientific research systems in areas such as China, deploying a group of national clinical medical research centers, increasing scientific and technological investment in the field of health and health, strengthening basic research in the field of life sciences and breakthroughs in key core technologies in medical and health, and accelerating strategies for improving disease control and public health Scientific and technological strength and strategic reserve capacity. It is necessary to expedite the shortcomings of China's high-end medical equipment, speed up the research on key core technologies, break through the bottlenecks of technical equipment, and achieve autonomous and controllable high-end medical equipment.
Vigorously promote scientific research in the most strenuous stages of epidemic prevention and control. Xi Jinping's important deployments have injected powerful energy to defeat the disease.
"Saving more patients' lives is a top priority and top priority"
The focus of prevention and control of the epidemic is on scientific prevention and control. In this inspection, Xi Jinping made detailed plans and put forward practical requirements for the key areas and key links closely followed by the masses.
In the current epidemic prevention and control work, doing our best to save more patients' lives is a top priority and top priority. In this regard, Xi Jinping put forward detailed and specific requirements in many aspects-adhere to the synergy of clinical research and clinical treatment, so that scientific research results are more inclined to the front line of the clinic; adhere to the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine and the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and accelerate the promotion and application of effective drugs that have been developed and screened At the same time, according to the needs of the first-line treatment, a batch of effective treatment drugs will be screened, and new treatment methods will be explored to prevent the transition from severe patients to severe cases as much as possible; advanced treatment methods such as plasma, stem cells and monoclonal antibodies during recovery period will be adopted to improve Intensive care level.
The research and development of the new crown virus vaccine plays an important role in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and the progress has attracted much attention. At the same time, as a special product for healthy people, vaccines have strict safety requirements. During the inspection period, Xi Jinping mentioned the vaccine research and development work many times, and proposed a series of measures to “accelerate the development of vaccines with multiple existing technologies”, “closely track the progress of foreign research and development, strengthen cooperation, and strive for the early promotion of clinical trials and marketing of vaccines”. The "quick" requirements also make long-term deployment and comprehensive preparations from the aspects of establishing a vaccine research and development and industrialization system, and establishing a national vaccine reserve system.
The prevention and control of the epidemic is inseparable from the daily lives of the people. Xi Jinping has always been concerned about how to properly and properly handle the relationship between the two. In his speech, he made arrangements for the epidemic prevention work, and did not know the details-using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to figure out where the source of the disease is coming from, and mobilizing all parties to strengthen the isolation of the people at home and the families of the patients. Psychological counseling, adhere to the patriotic health campaign, resolutely put an end to the bad habits of eating wild animals, and promote a civilized, healthy, green and environmentally friendly lifestyle ...
Check the facts, make practical moves, and see the results. In this one-hearted national war "epidemic," your and my concerns have always been the concerns of the General Secretary.
