People often think that it is just a cough caused by a cold, just labor-related breathing difficulties caused by old age, and fail to consider it as a disease, so the people don’t know enough about it. Our primary hospitals have the ability to prevent and control it. It’s not enough. It’s not just that the new prevention and control technologies have not been mastered, but some of the new prevention and control technologies, new drugs, and new programs have not been promoted to our grassroots. This makes our Sichuan, especially The prevention and control of chronic obstructive (disease) in our rural areas is relatively weak, so I suggest that we should further strengthen the prevention and control of chronic respiratory diseases at the grassroots level.
[Explanation] In this regard, Li Weimin suggested that the prevention and treatment of primary-level COPD should be included in the national basic public health services, and early diagnosis, screening, treatment and standardized treatment should be coordinated.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the training of basic hospitals' prevention and control capabilities and strengthen the popularization of public health knowledge.

Only when our people have so strengthened prevention, strengthened self-examination, and strengthened the improvement of knowledge in this area, can we comprehensively improve the ability to prevent and control chronic respiratory diseases, and finally promote the realization of a healthy China and a healthy Sichuan. Construction.
