"Clear to zero" does not mean you can sit back and relax
At present, mainland China has not reported new local confirmed cases for several consecutive days, and the medium and high-risk areas have been cleared. Some experts pointed out that the current round of winter and spring epidemics in mainland China has entered a stage of suppression.
While the effect of prevention and control is further emerging, the representatives interviewed also pointed out that epidemic prevention measures cannot be relaxed because of this, and the string of epidemic prevention and control must be kept tight at all times.
"The new crown virus is still raging around the world, and the situation is worrying. The'clearing' in mainland China is hard-won, but it does not mean that you can sit back and relax. Once taken lightly, the epidemic may come back." Member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Hu Gang, the chairman and president of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with reporters recently.
Last year, China has achieved remarkable results in fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, but it also exposed many shortcomings in China's public health emergency management system.
Filling up loopholes, reshaping the system, and improving the ability to respond to emergent public health security incidents. What should a public health system be like?
In this regard, Yi Luci, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Health Commission, summed it up in three terms: "comprehensive, scientific, and precise."
"The protection of public health safety requires a political position where the people are supreme and life is supreme, and it also requires the scientific construction of a public health system that combines peace and war. This system must manage the long-term as well as the overall situation, and it must not only make up for shortcomings but also take care of the overall situation. High-quality development."
She therefore suggested to speed up the standardization of disease prevention and control institutions at all levels, and comprehensively improve core capabilities such as epidemic analysis and early warning, epidemiological investigation and disposal, rapid pathogen identification and identification, and traceability; relying on informatization to innovate online and offline collaborative investigation models to build A high-level epidemiological investigation team that is compatible with the modern disease prevention and control system and can quickly and accurately determine the epidemic situation.
Yi Lucy hopes that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, through a series of measures such as reforming the disease prevention and control system and improving the major epidemic treatment system, the construction of the public health system will be further strengthened, the shortcomings will be filled in, and a large network will be used to maintain public health safety.

Let professional talents be recruited, retained, and used well
In the past year, in the process of epidemic prevention and control, many places in China have exposed problems such as insufficient number of disease control professionals, serious brain drain, and difficulty in introducing senior professionals. The talent team has restricted the "last mile" in the construction of China's public health system. ".
Dai Xiuying, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairperson of the Ningxia District Committee of the Peasants and Workers Party, told reporters that it is recommended to increase the proportion of disease control personnel and strict access conditions, increase the proportion of professionals, and improve various incentive systems to mobilize enthusiasm.
"The existing favorable policies of the country should be implemented, and the temporary subsidies issued for the prevention and control of infectious diseases and the implementation of the policy on the adjustment of health and epidemic prevention subsidies issued in 2020 should be included in the assessment, and an environment conducive to the development of grassroots disease control personnel should be created. "Dai Xiuying said.
The medical conditions in rural areas and ethnic minority areas in China are relatively weak, and they are more likely to become loopholes in epidemic prevention and control. The lack of medical professionals is often more prominent in these areas.
Yang Lianying has been a village doctor in Henan Village, Xinhua Township, Pingbian County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic has made this NPC representative who has rooted in the grassroots more busy than ever, and it has also made her better understand the epidemic situation in rural China. The status quo of prevention and control.
"The medical and health conditions in mountain villages are weak. To curb the spread of the epidemic, we must guard the inspection checkpoints." Yang Lianying said frankly. Taking Henan Village as an example, the village has 10 natural villages and 11 villager groups under the jurisdiction of nearly 2,000 villagers.
The villagers live scattered, the mountain roads are winding, and there are only two doctors, so it is extremely inconvenient to visit.
Therefore, she suggested that more rural medical investment should be increased and more natural villages should be equipped with clinics and medical staff.
Lin An, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of the Ethnic and Religious Committee of the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, cites a set of statistics to reporters: There are a total of 4022 medical staff in 99 primary medical and health institutions in the ethnic minority areas of Hainan. Has a population of more than 2.2 million.
In this regard, Lin An suggested that it is necessary to make a targeted entrusted training plan to strengthen the training of general practitioners, and at the same time include public health and professional equipment and technical personnel into the scope of targeted training to ensure a reasonable structure of the grassroots medical and health technical staff; in addition; The public health service subsidy standards should be increased year by year, and their income levels should be increased, not only by "emotional retention", but also by "salary retention."
In addition, Chen Ailian, deputy to the National People’s Congress, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wanfeng Auto Holding Group, proposed that patient information can be interconnected with the help of a network system to provide conditions for patients’ medical information to be shared among different medical institutions, thereby improving the medical field The efficiency of diagnosis and treatment can maximize the use of relevant medical information, and can also break the gap in the quality of medical and health services between regions and between urban and rural areas, and truly promote the development of spatial integration of medical and health care.
"A thousand days of raising soldiers are spent in a short time. We need to pay attention to the role of public health in disease prevention, open up the'last mile' of the public health system, and improve the treatment of public health talents so that talents can be recruited, retained, and used. Good, so as to improve the public health knowledge literacy of the whole people." Hu Gang said.

Make good use of the thousand-year treasure of Chinese medicine
In the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, Chinese medicine has been deeply involved and has achieved significant effects in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
However, there are still some problems to be solved in the process of promoting Chinese medicine to the world.
Hu Gang, a member of the Chinese medical profession, believes that in this battle against the epidemic, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine and the combined use of Chinese and Western medicine have played a huge role, increasing the cure rate, reducing the mortality rate, and effectively safeguarding people's life safety and physical health. .
"For a long time in the past, Chinese medicine has not received enough attention. At present, there is no special medicine for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Practice has proved that on the basis of adhering to the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, make full use of the Chinese medicine. A thousand-year treasure of civilization, the process of overcoming the epidemic may accelerate." Hu Gang said.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is an important period of development opportunities for China. In the "14th Five-Year Plan", innovation is placed at the core. The Chinese medicine industry also needs continuous innovation and development.
"Innovation is the key for the pharmaceutical industry to conform to the national development strategy. The biopharmaceutical industry is a strategic emerging industry, and it is an industry that needs innovation support." Li Yan, a representative of the National People's Congress and president of Qilu Pharmaceutical Group, believes that China's pharmaceutical industry should be in the past five years. Among them, based on the national plan, to achieve faster development and narrow the gap with the world's advanced.
The pharmaceutical industry is now in an era of accelerated competition, and R&D, production, and sales must all be in line with international standards.
Li Yan said: "The earth is flat. In a global competitive environment, if Chinese national pharmaceutical companies want to gain a foothold, they must unswervingly innovate and point to the'global good' and'global new' drugs."
Zhang Zhilong, deputy to the National People's Congress, deputy chairman of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, and vice president of the Tianjin Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told a reporter from China News Agency that the key to the inheritance, innovation and development of Chinese medicine lies in people and education.
"In recent years, the country has implemented a standardized training system for residents of traditional Chinese medicine. After six years of development, it seems that there are still many problems."
Zhang Zhilong pointed out that, for example, the "residential regulation training" of traditional Chinese medicine is not qualitatively different, the regulation training system is not completely unified with other laws and regulations, and there are also some problems in terms of funding and management systems.
"It is recommended that multiple measures be taken to solve the problem. For example, a demonstration center can be established so that everyone can have a benchmark to learn from, and a cross-border alliance of regular training bases can also be established to solve the problem of homogeneity."
