##Full liberalization in the near future? Official response

20221012 My "twenty" feelings

November 11, the epidemic prevention and control of the The "twenty articles" were formally released and have been the attention of public opinion at home and abroad, but also welcomed by the people of the country. As a member of the elderly group, I carefully read the full text of the "twenty articles", and now record the feelings of the articles related to our elderly as follows--

"twenty articles" Starting with Article 11, it's about the future direction of prevention and control, which I'm paying particular attention to.

Look at Article 11, which sets out a graded and categorized diagnosis and treatment plan, criteria for admission of infected people of different severity, and increasing resources for treatment (this is to prepare for the possibility of a medical run on the hospital in the future). Article 12, promote the vaccination of new crowns in an orderly manner. Article 13, accelerate the stockpiling of drugs for the treatment of new crowns. Article 14: Strengthen the protection of key institutions and key populations. These four measures are closely related to our elderly, predicting that in the near future (personal prediction, after the National People's Congress in March next year), the epidemic prevention and control will be fully liberalized.

As an older group, what do we need to do now? First, we need to strengthen self-protection, wear masks, wash hands regularly, ventilate more, and do not gather. Secondly, those who have not been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Practices at home and abroad have proved that vaccination with the new crown vaccine is still effective in reducing serious illness and mortality. Third, some proven effective Chinese medicine should be properly stocked, because in ancient China, plague also happened from time to time, and finally rely on folk Chinese medicine and folk remedies to solve the problem.

Will there be a full liberalization in the near future? What else needs to be done to fully prepare? Health Commission response

According to China.com, on November 12, in the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism press conference, a reporter asked, twenty measures, including strengthening the construction of medical resources, make good preparation for hospitalization beds and beds for serious illnesses, increase the resources for treatment, accelerate the relevant drugs and medical equipment reserves. May I ask whether these measures imply that full liberalization will take place in the near future? What are the full preparations that need to be made for full liberalization?

Lei Haichao, deputy director of the National Health Commission, has just mentioned that our country is a large country with a population of 1.4 billion people, and a large number of elderly people, and the base of vulnerable people in need of care and attention is also relatively large. Our country is also facing the problem of neither sufficient nor balanced development, the differences between regions and urban and rural areas are relatively large, as far as the resources for medical and health services are concerned, the total amount of our total is also relatively insufficient, at present, our country's medical beds after the orderly development over the years, the medical beds per 1,000 population reached 6.7 beds, and less than 4 beds per 100,000 population of critical care medical beds, these indicators and developed countries There is still a considerable gap between these indicators and those of developed countries. This is our national situation and the actual situation in respect of health. Therefore, in responding to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, we have always emphasized the need to strengthen capacity building and the need to strengthen the stockpiling of resources in various aspects, including manpower, beds, drugs and vaccines, which is a comprehensive preventive and control arrangement, with the aim of co-ordinating the relationship between the prevention and control of the epidemic and the safeguarding of day-to-day medical services. In addition, we have made a series of plans and set out a series of requirements for the setting up of sentinel hospitals, sub-sentinel hospitals and square pod hospitals. For example, in June this year, we specifically put forward a number of measures to cope with the larger scale outbreak of Omicron. The twenty prevention and control measures, the ninth version of the prevention and control program issued on June 28 this year, are based on our new understanding of the practice of prevention and control of the larger scale of Omicron.

Therefore, strengthening capacity building is both the need for our high-quality development of medical and health care, as well as the need for medical treatment in the process of epidemic prevention and control. We put the prevention of infection in the prevention and control of epidemics in a prominent position, is determined by the new era of the party's health work policy, "prevention first" is our new era of the party's health policy in the sentence requirements. That is why we have been able to win the battle to have as few people as possible become infected, as few people as possible develop serious and critical illnesses, and as few people as possible die in extreme cases of incidental combination of underlying diseases and at an advanced age. These achievements are the result of the comprehensive implementation of the "prevention-oriented" approach, and they were not achieved through the efforts of a single place. In addition, in the course of participating in the handling of epidemics in various places, I have also come to realize that the success of epidemic prevention and control is the result of giving full play to the strengths of the Party's leadership and the socialist system of China. So we should not think that the current epidemic of Omicron is very mild, in fact, behind the prevention and control staff at all levels have made painstaking efforts, we guarded the front line of prevention, for the back-end treatment can reduce the corresponding pressure. In addition, in the event of an outbreak in a county or a district, we often use a prefectural or municipal city as the basic response unit, and even in some places, the strength of the whole province is used to provide mutual support, and sometimes the State also sends working groups and experts specializing in serious illnesses, pooling the strength of the whole country to help the areas affected by the outbreak to tide over the challenges of diagnosis and treatment and the difficulties in rescuing and treating patients with serious illnesses. There are many examples of this, and in past reports we have successfully treated many elderly people with underlying medical conditions, but again, we have worked very hard behind the scenes, at least as a result of integrating the resources of a city or even a province, and even including the ****ing efforts of national experts.

Whether it is to deal with infectious diseases or other secondary health problems brought about by natural disasters, but also to deal with public **** health emergencies, we need to do a good job of medical resources to cope with the capacity of the reserves. So now improve the allocation of critical care resources, medical beds, not only to serve in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia outbreak, but also can be used in other public **** health emergencies in the process of disposal. To further enhance the early warning capability in major outbreaks, risk assessment capability, epidemiological investigation capability, of course, there is also a very important clinical medical treatment, especially the ability to treat serious illnesses. In addition to the nine versions of the prevention and control program, the state issued nine versions of the diagnosis and treatment program, mainly in the clinical aspects, we also play their own advantages, Chinese and Western medicine, to cope with the challenge of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic.

Overall, we want to build a strong healthcare delivery system that meets the requirements of the overall national security concept and is able to adapt to the public **** health security situation. In the future, we will continue to adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and in accordance with the principle of "taking small steps without stopping", we will optimize and adjust our prevention and control initiatives according to the characteristics of virus mutation and the practical understanding of clinical treatment, as well as the improvement and enhancement of our national prevention and control capabilities, so as to effectively safeguard the safety and health of the people. The company's products and services have been well received by the public and have been well received by the public.
