Dai Tao, who participated in the research and formulation of "Healthy China 2020 Strategic Research" and "Healthy China 2030 Planning Outline", said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter that the important reason for expensive medical treatment now is that innovative drugs and high-end medical instruments and equipment mainly rely on imports, and it is necessary to increase the research and development of innovative drugs and instruments and equipment in the future; It is necessary to change the medical-centered service mode that emphasized medical care and neglected preventive health care in the past, and turn to health-centered, so as to realize the transformation from "passive medical care" to "active health".
Talking about the similarities and differences between the planning concerns of healthy China in 2020 and 2030, Dai Tao told reporters that after so many years of reform and opening up, medical science and technology innovation has changed from "following" to "following" and "leading" in parallel. "Focusing on the needs of building a healthy China, we will accelerate the implementation of the national health protection project, strengthen the prevention and control of major diseases, research on precision medicine and translational medicine, and change the medical and health service mode. He stressed.
"By 2030, the leading and supporting role of medical and health science and technology innovation in safeguarding people's health and promoting the development of health undertakings will be more prominent, and its role in the national science and technology innovation system will be more prominent. The innovation strength of medical and health science and technology has entered the forefront of the world's innovative countries and reached the level of moderately developed countries in advance. " Dai Tao said.
Precision medicine and biotherapy are the key development directions.
Zhan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of Peking University Health Science Center, said that precision medicine is to apply modern gene technology, molecular imaging technology and bioinformatics technology, combine patients' living environment and clinical data, realize accurate treatment and diagnosis, and formulate personalized disease prevention and treatment programs. Its essence is to analyze, identify, verify and apply biomarkers to a large sample of people and specific disease types through advanced medical technologies such as genomics and protein omics, so as to accurately find out the causes and treatment targets of diseases, accurately classify different states and processes of diseases, and finally achieve the purpose of personalized and precise treatment of diseases and specific patients, and improve the benefits of disease diagnosis and treatment.
He emphasized that the focus of precision medicine is not "medical treatment" but "precision". Precision medicine pays more attention to the deep characteristics of "disease" and the high accuracy of "medicine"; It is a high-level medical technology formed on the basis of a deep understanding of people, diseases and medicines.
Biological therapy includes immunotherapy and gene therapy. In this regard, it is emphasized that we should seize the strategic opportunity of the integration and innovation of biotechnology and medicine, promote the frontier technology of biotherapy to make a major original breakthrough in the medical and health field, innovate clinical treatment techniques and methods, and improve the level of clinical treatment.
Chronic disease opportunity
Zhu Chen, vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a numerical description that the main health indicators of China have reached the level of developed countries in the world, more than half of urban and rural areas have reached the national standard of healthy cities (towns), 50% of people have health literacy, the premature mortality rate of chronic diseases has been reduced by13, and health coverage has basically been achieved. In a word, the basic connotation of a healthy China should include three aspects: a healthy environment, healthy citizens and healthy coverage, which is a big health concept.
"The prevention and control of chronic diseases has become an increasingly important issue in the field of health, because all the remaining problems are long-standing problems. In order to make breakthroughs in these issues, we must start with basic research. " Zhou Xiaoming, an expert on chronic disease prevention, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter. Such as: individual development and differentiation mechanism research, tissue and organ regeneration mechanism research, aging control research, brain science and cognitive neuroscience research, health and medical big data mining, new gene manipulation technology and so on.
Traditional Chinese medicine innovation
Healthy China 2030, innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine is also highly anticipated. In the process of changing from "passive medical care" mode to "active health care" mode, based on the theory of health care and disease prevention of traditional Chinese medicine, it is expected to develop a number of health care methods and technologies with China characteristics that can be popularized, as well as a series of big health products with clear functional factors and exact health care functions.
