The third is to use big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other digital technologies to better play a supporting role in epidemic situation monitoring and analysis, virus tracing, prevention and treatment, resource allocation, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to actively play the role of traditional Chinese medicine and improve the level of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
The fourth is to accelerate the construction of a new nationwide system of core technological breakthroughs. Promote and improve a unified emergency security system, cooperate with relevant departments to improve the emergency material security system, and improve the medical insurance and rescue system for major diseases.
