Why did public hospitals launch "COVID-19 Health Check-up Positive Package"?

A doctor in a public hospital said that because some Yang Kang people were worried about their health, they went to the relevant departments for examination. In order to reduce the pressure of medical treatment in the departments, the hospital launched the Yang Kang medical examination package, which was also to alleviate everyone's anxiety.

Some doctors think that not everyone needs this kind of physical examination. Some doctors also reminded that the medical examination package is also a daily basic medical examination. If you feel unwell after Yang Kang, you can go to the hospital for examination. If there are no special symptoms, unnecessary medical examinations do not have to catch up with the peak of infection. Public hospitals and private medical institutions have launched "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package". Some COVID-19 infected patients still have muscle pain, cough and fatigue after "Yang Kang", and many people go to the hospital to make an appointment for lung CT and other related examinations. A few days before and after New Year's Day, some public hospitals and private medical institutions also launched the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package" for this group of people, mainly including the examination of lung injury, liver and kidney function, myocardial injury, immune indicators and other counterpart items, and the price ranged from less than 100 yuan to more than 2,000 yuan.

The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University has also launched two kinds of "Yang Kang Physical Examination Packages", the prices of which are 480 yuan and 877 yuan respectively. A doctor in the hospital told the reporter that this price is a discount price. The number of people making appointments in these two days has gradually increased, with about 50 people a day. At present, there is no need to queue up for physical examination in the physical examination center.

Speaking of the original intention of launching the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package", the above-mentioned doctors said that everyone had never understood COVID-19 infection and never realized it. Many people are still a little anxious. "As a health checkup and health management institution, we want to let everyone eliminate this anxiety through medical means." The doctor also said that it is not necessary for all people infected with COVID-19 to have such a physical examination, and it should be judged according to each person's situation. "On the one hand, some clinical diseases can be ruled out by Yang Kang physical examination, and on the other hand, the anxiety caused by related symptoms can be eliminated. Recently, many people have gone to the relevant departments of the hospital for examination because they are worried about their physical condition. The launch of this medical examination package can also alleviate the pressure on the department. "

Nurse Chen of the Physical Examination Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine told reporters that many people still cough or feel chest tightness after sleep, and then they will have anxiety. The purpose of the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package" launched by the Physical Examination Center is to clearly show the patient's physical condition through physical examination and medical data, thus alleviating people's anxiety and "letting people know their physical condition clearly." Nurse Chen said that their physical examination center has just launched a "physical examination package". At present, there are fewer people coming for physical examination, only three or four.

"The cost of the medical examination center can't take medical insurance, and 2500 yuan is still quite expensive." 780 yuan, the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package" launched by the Health Management Center of Xiangya Changde Hospital. A doctor at the physical examination center told the reporter that the hospital launched the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package" on February 28th, 2022, mainly to relieve people's anxiety about their physical condition. "There are not many people coming at present, and there are dozens a day. Most of them come directly to the scene without an appointment, but there is no need to queue up at the scene. " When talking about the population to which the medical examination package applies, doctors suggested that it is necessary for the elderly and patients with basic diseases to have a "Yang Kang" medical examination.

Do you need a physical examination after Yang Kang? Doctor's suggestion: If you feel unwell, you can have a check-up. If there are no special symptoms, you don't need to do it. Public hospitals and private medical institutions have launched the "Yang Kang Physical Examination Package". But is it really necessary for Yang Kang people to have a physical examination? Li Jun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital, said in an interview that after Yang Kang, if the patient's blood oxygen saturation is abnormal and he really feels unwell, he can go to the hospital for necessary examination. However, in the absence of special physical symptoms, patients can rest at home. In the current busy medical institutions, there is no need to rush to the peak of infection for unnecessary physical examination. In addition, routine physical examination can stagger the current peak of medical treatment in COVID-19, but if the original underlying diseases need physical examination and re-examination, normal physical examination and re-examination can be staggered.

"Many elderly people have health checks every year. This is also a daily basic physical examination. At present, the hospital is focusing on treating some seriously infected people. You don't have to go to the physical examination at the current medical peak deliberately, and do a good job in daily basic disease treatment.

However, if the symptoms caused by the basic diseases are aggravated, it is suggested to go to the hospital for necessary basic disease-related examinations so as to adjust the treatment plan of the basic diseases in time.
