June 2, 2018 from the medical personnel "group-type" aid to Tibet work conference was informed that over the past three years, provinces and cities have sent a total of 519 medical experts to Tibet to support the group. Through this support, the People's Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the People's Hospitals of Lhasa, Rikaze and Linzhi have become "third-rate" hospitals, realizing that 332 kinds of "major diseases" can be treated without leaving the autonomous region, and 1,914 kinds of "intermediate diseases" can be treated without leaving the prefecture or city. "
These are the most important of all, and the most important of all is the fact that they are the most important of all.
Subject to the constraints of history, nature and other factors, Tibet's medical level is relatively backward. Under the unified organization and coordination of the Central Organization Department, more than 100 medical experts were sent from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, three affiliated hospitals of Peking University, and tertiary hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Anhui, Chongqing, Liaozhou and Shaanxi provinces and cities to start the "group-type" work of aiding Tibet with medical talents, and provide counterpart support for the People's Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the People's Hospitals of seven cities in Tibet.
Today, in addition to the eight recipient hospitals, 86 primary medical institutions, including county-level people's hospitals, health service centers, and Tibetan hospitals, have also become recipients of support from 85 tertiary hospitals in the mainland. The Tibet-aided experts have carried out cholecystectomy, cesarean section, and other new techniques in the county. Through the help of experts, 120 doctors in Tibet's recipient hospitals have been able to carry out one to two new surgeries independently.
"Tibet is sparsely populated, and farmers and herdsmen live in scattered areas. Developing medical institutions at the district and county levels and below is of great significance in solving the problem of access to medical care for all ethnic groups in Tibet." Wang Hesheng, deputy director of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said at the meeting that the next step will be to promote medical aid to Tibet in terms of discipline, technology, management and resources, and other experiences, and to sink to grassroots medical service organizations. Anhui Province's "group-type" model for helping county-level hospitals in Shannan City, and Guangdong Province's support hospitals and county-level hospitals in Linzhi City have formed a medical consortium, which is a model that can be used as a reference.
Shanghai Tibet experts, Rikaze City People's Hospital party secretary Zhang Hao said: "We will build a standardized training base for residents, its functions radiate to the grass-roots hospitals; speed up the construction of information technology, to explore the needs of the local development of Tibet for the construction of intelligent hospital model, to create a new type of medical association with the city's People's Hospital as a leader, driving the jurisdiction of the districts and counties, radiating the surrounding areas. A new type of medical consortium in the neighboring areas."
It is hoped that more medical talents will support Tibet.
