Introduce medical and health services and drug production and supply.

Do a good job in the treatment of COVID-19 patients and

Daily medical service

△ Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health and Wellness Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department

At present, the goal of epidemic prevention and control is to protect health and prevent serious diseases, and the urgent task is to ensure the people’s medical treatment. Medical institutions at all levels are optimizing their processes, expanding their resources, increasing their strength, making overall plans for epidemic prevention and control, COVID-19 patient treatment and daily medical services, and making every effort to solve the urgent problems of the masses.

It is necessary to play the role of the urban and rural three-level medical and health service network and strengthen the classification and treatment of infected people; Give play to the role of community medical and health institutions and internet hospitals to facilitate the masses to obtain health consultation, medical guidance and appointment diagnosis and treatment services; Strengthen the health management and health monitoring of risk personnel, and effectively ensure that the elderly, pregnant women, children and patients with chronic basic diseases receive timely, effective and convenient medical services.

It is necessary to speed up vaccination, especially to strengthen immunization. Recently, the comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council issued a plan to deploy the second dose of intensive immunization among people with high risk of infection and the elderly over 60 years old.

At present, the people’s demand for post-infection drugs in Covid-19 is obviously increasing, so what have we done to ensure drug production?

△ Zhou Jian, Deputy Director of Consumer Goods Industry Department of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

First, focus on key points and go all out to ensure stable production and production. In view of the related drugs mentioned in the novel coronavirus Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Ninth Edition) and the Guidelines for Intervention of Covid-19 Infected Persons with Traditional Chinese Medicine at Home, we have further increased the protection of production factors for these production enterprises, and included relevant production enterprises and key supporting enterprises in the white list management to ensure stable and orderly production and supply.

Second, take multiple measures to accelerate the expansion of key enterprises. Help enterprises to work out the plan of increasing production and expanding capacity by "one medicine and one policy", and find ways to tap the existing production capacity and further increase product output through technical transformation, new production lines and commissioned production.

The third is accurate delivery to ensure the drug demand of key populations. We guide relevant parties in all localities to formulate work plans, and give priority to ensuring the supply of drugs in key places such as medical institutions and nursing homes in accordance with the principle of giving priority to patients and accurate delivery. At the same time, large-scale online pharmacies are organized to develop online drug purchasing platforms for patients, and drugs can be distributed to patients in time through real-name authentication and uploading antigen testing certificates.

China’s pharmaceutical industry has a solid foundation. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, the production capacity of related drugs will be released soon, which can effectively protect the people’s drug demand.

Can common western medicine and Chinese patent medicine be eaten together to treat Covid-19 infection? Will it be better to eat several kinds of Chinese patent medicines together?

△ Liu Qingquan, Dean of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

From our research and clinical observation, Chinese patent medicine and western medicine, such as antipyretic and analgesic drugs, can be used in combination. To be on the safe side, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and western medicine should be eaten half an hour apart, which will be more safe. Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine for treating colds and western medicine for relieving fever and pain, can complement each other, and can solve the symptoms of fever, joint pain, fatigue, sore throat and cough of Covid-19 infected people quickly and permanently.

In recent decades, there have been Chinese and western medicine compound preparations made of Chinese medicine and western medicine in China, which are very good drugs for treating colds. In fact, these two drugs are taken together. We also checked the literature, and found no reports of adverse reactions between drugs for treating colds and antipyretic and analgesic drugs in traditional Chinese medicine. However, our advice is not to combine several drugs, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, and not to think that the symptoms will be relieved in a few minutes, ten minutes or an hour after taking the medicine, which is not so fast. As a result of this combined use, there will be overlapping drug doses, which will have certain risks and the curative effect will not be improved. If the "Chinese patent medicine" we take contains ingredients that add western medicine to relieve fever and pain, we should pay attention to it when we use it in combination with other western medicines, otherwise there will be side effects after the drugs are superimposed.

Therefore, at present, generally speaking, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine has a very good effect on quickly relieving the symptoms of the disease and making patients feel comfortable.

Public opinion reflects the shortage of medical resources and the difficulties for people to seek medical treatment in some places. How should we solve this problem?

△ Jiao Yahui, Director of the Department of Medical Administration of the National Health and Wellness Commission

In view of the prominent demand for diagnosis and treatment in fever clinics and the rapid growth, we have taken a series of measures.

First, further expand the supply of medical resources and medical services. We require all hospitals above the second level and primary medical and health institutions to open fever clinics or fever clinics, and we have been vigorously promoting this matter recently. According to statistics, as of 12: 00 on December 14th, there were more than 14,000 fever clinics in hospitals above the second level in China, and more than 33,000 fever clinics or consultation rooms were set up in primary medical and health institutions. While increasing the number of fever clinics or clinics, we also further simplify the process of fever clinics and improve service efficiency.

The second is to promote graded diagnosis and treatment. On the one hand, in cities, medical associations are used as carriers, and in rural areas, county medical associations are used as carriers to promote the graded diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and other medical services. Let the urban and rural tertiary networks and medical institutions implement their respective functional positioning. Health monitoring is mainly implemented at the grassroots level, especially the health monitoring and health management of key populations; Secondary hospitals provide technical support in all aspects of technology and manpower to meet the needs of general diagnosis and treatment; Tertiary hospitals focus on meeting the needs of diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. Through graded diagnosis and treatment, build a reasonable and orderly medical order.

The third is to vigorously promote Internet medical services. Through Internet medical treatment, according to the diagnosis and treatment plan and the guide of home treatment, we will prescribe corresponding prescriptions for patients with COVID-19’s symptoms, and provide corresponding drugs through offline third-party distribution. At the same time, we also require medical institutions to provide 24-hour online consultation and medication guidance, as well as time-sharing appointment services. In this way, the instantaneous peak of medical institutions can be reduced, the gathering of people can be reduced, and the risk of cross-infection when people go to the hospital offline can be reduced.

Fourth, continuously optimize the process of fever clinic, general clinic and hospitalization. By optimizing the medical treatment process, it will provide greater convenience for the broad masses of people to go to medical institutions for medical treatment.

What is the docking mechanism between community and specialized medical institutions? How to ensure that the elderly and patients with chronic diseases get timely, effective and convenient medical services?

△ Gao Guangming, Deputy Director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health and Wellness Commission

In accordance with the principle of "health monitoring, classified management, up-and-down linkage and effective treatment", we scientifically coordinate regional medical resources and improve the efficiency and continuity of medical services. In the process of deepening medical reform, we have been actively promoting the construction of urban medical associations and county medical associations, and strengthening the communication, coordination and interaction of medical resources, which has been effective for many years. In the three-level medical service system, the upper and lower referral channels are unblocked. Therefore, the docking mechanism we are talking about has actually been established in the past.

After the implementation of the "new ten articles", patients with mild symptoms, asymptomatic and stable basic diseases are still recommended to be isolated at home and treated at home. Medical institutions can provide rehabilitation guidance and psychological support for family members through online and offline methods such as remote guidance and Internet medical care. For patients with severe illness and severe high-risk factors, they can go to designated hospitals for treatment. If the basic disease is serious and needs to be treated in general and specialized hospitals, you can contact the community health service institutions around you and help them to refer. When the situation is urgent, you can also go directly to the relevant medical institutions for treatment.

What is the population range of the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine? When will the vaccination begin?

△ Xia Gang, Director of the Department of Health and Immunity, National CDC

In order to better protect people’s health and life safety, according to the approval of vaccine research and development and emergency use, recently, the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism has further adjusted and improved the vaccination strategy in Covid-19. People with high risk of infection, people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity can be given the second dose of booster immunization six months after completing the first dose.

At present, all 13 vaccines approved for conditional marketing or emergency use can be used for the second dose of booster immunization, including 4 newly added vaccines for emergency use. Priority is given to sequential booster immunization, or vaccines containing Omicron strain or having good cross-immunity to Omicron strain. For details, you can pay attention to the relevant information released by official website.

We are guiding local organizations to carry out relevant work. Please pay attention to the relevant information released locally and carry out vaccination according to local specific work arrangements.

Recently, the epidemic data of COVID-19 released by the state showed a downward trend, but why is it inconsistent with the public perception? Why not publish information about asymptomatic infected people? How to monitor and report epidemic information in the next step?

△ Li Qun, Director of the Emergency Center of China CDC

Recently, the incidence data reported in various places have declined, which is inconsistent with the public’s perception. There are two main reasons:

On the one hand, after the adjustment and optimization of prevention and control measures, all parts of China no longer carry out full-time nucleic acid screening according to administrative regions. Except for key populations and key institutions, most people carry out nucleic acid testing in a "willing to do everything" way, so the total number and total number of nucleic acid screening in China have declined, and the data reported by medical institutions at all levels in various places have decreased accordingly.

On the other hand, asymptomatic infected people, mild cases, especially those with positive antigen self-test choose home treatment, and they no longer need to go to the hospital, so the relevant information of this group of people can not be included in the statistical data of medical institutions.

Regarding the second question, why did you cancel the announcement of asymptomatic infected people? After the implementation of the "willing to check and check" measure, it is difficult to accurately grasp the actual data of asymptomatic infected people because many asymptomatic infected people no longer participate in nucleic acid testing and no longer need to go to medical institutions for treatment. Therefore, starting from today, the data of asymptomatic infected people will no longer be published. However, for asymptomatic infected people who have been found, grassroots medical and health institutions continue to guide them to do a good job in home health monitoring, care for their health and provide corresponding services.

In the next step, we will continue to focus on the network direct report of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and require all kinds of medical institutions at all levels to do a good job in monitoring and reporting medical cases. At the same time, we will carry out various forms of monitoring, such as the corresponding monitoring with the influenza sentinel hospital monitoring system, and strengthen the monitoring of key institutions such as pension institutions, psychiatric hospitals, welfare institutions, schools and medical and health institutions. It is hoped that through monitoring, the scale, intensity and scope of the epidemic and the variation of the virus can be grasped in time, and the epidemic situation can be judged in time to provide scientific basis for formulating strategies and measures for epidemic prevention and control.
