(Express delivery of the two sessions) Scientific understanding of the importance of traditional Chinese medicine CPPCC members said that generalization and mystery should be avoided
China News Agency, Beijing, May 23 (Reporter Chen Jing) In the treatment of patients with new coronary pneumonia, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is full. However, the popularization of Chinese medicine science is facing difficulties and the substantial participation of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases is still a real problem.
Chen Hongzhuan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, admitted frankly that a good atmosphere of "scientific understanding of traditional Chinese medicine" and "correct understanding of traditional Chinese medicine" will be formed in the whole society. The task is still very arduous.
To this end, Chen Hongzhuan proposed in "Recommendations on Further Strengthening the Scientific Popularization of Traditional Chinese Medicine Knowledge" that the generalization and mystery in the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge should be avoided; more high-level Chinese medicine colleges and medical institutions should be encouraged Chinese medicine experts are committed to targeted health science work.
He pointed out that the Chinese medicine community should also work together to sort out, distinguish, and discard the essence and dross of Chinese medicine culture; pay attention to the popularization of Chinese medicine knowledge for young people, and spread health concepts and knowledge such as Chinese medicine culture and treatment of disease.
Jiang Jian, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chief physician of Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that in the continuous struggle against infectious diseases, TCM has developed a complete set of medical theories such as correcting evil and eliminating evil, which can slow down the disease and exert good therapeutic effects.
Jiang Jian said that in this new coronary pneumonia epidemic, famous Chinese medicine practitioners across China have proposed a variety of treatments or adjuvant treatments for new coronary pneumonia according to the differences in different regions, different climates, and different populations, in order to reduce the rate of severe disease and mortality Played a very good role, the efficacy has been recognized by the public at home and abroad, the experience is worth summing up.
Although, in 2004, China revised the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases to incorporate Chinese medicine into the prevention and treatment system for infectious diseases in China, the role of Chinese medicine in preventing and controlling infectious diseases has not yet been maximized.
Jiang Jian suggested that the relevant provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases should be refined and relevant supporting policies should be introduced to further provide legal protection for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases by Chinese medicine. He proposed to strengthen the construction of an emergency system for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in Chinese medicine, including the establishment of a high-standard and high-level national emergency response team for Chinese medicine, the improvement of the information monitoring system and early warning mechanism for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in Chinese medicine, and the regular implementation of emergency drill programs.
He believes that this can enhance the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the infectious disease emergency system and reverse the tendency of emergencies and prevention in some places.
Jiang Jian also pointed out that qualified provinces should be encouraged to set up a key laboratory for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases with integrated Chinese and Western medicine. Taking the guide of "integration of Chinese and Western medicine, complementary advantages, unified operations, and close cooperation" as a guideline, the research on the treatment system for infectious diseases of integrated Chinese and Western medicine should be carried out. Improve China's ability to prevent and control infectious diseases. (Finish)
