Health of the whole people and a better life.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s Concern about People’s Livelihood: "Getting Medical Treatment for Illness"
□ Xinhua News Agency reporter
[Introduction]
"Without the health of the whole people, there will be no overall well-off society" —— This important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the construction of a healthy China has won strong resonance from the whole society.
Respond to people’s livelihood expectations and grasp the pulse of the times. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the supreme leader as the core, has made major decisions and arrangements to promote the construction of a healthy China, made great efforts to solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment, and strived to realize the people’s livelihood commitment of "getting medical treatment". A brand-new picture of healthy China is being drawn step by step.
[Story 1] "15-minute medical circle" is convenient for fellow villagers to see a doctor
The cold of winter can’t resist the concern in my heart.
In December 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Shiye Town Health Center in Dantu District, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province to learn about the development of rural medical and health undertakings and the situation of villagers seeking medical treatment.
"At that time, it was cold. When I shook hands, I only reached out one hand, and the other hand was in my pocket, but he held me in both hands, and I quickly reached out the other hand."
Wei Dingyu, who was present at that time, felt not only the temperature in the palm of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary: "On that day, the General Secretary not only asked about his physical condition, but also cared about whether it was convenient for us to see a doctor, whether the medical expenses were expensive or not, and whether he was satisfied with the rural medical and health work." (Continued to the fourth edition)
(Continued from the first edition) Today, more than four years later, 75-year-old Wei Dingyu did not often come to the health center to measure his blood pressure on the self-service equipment, and he still firmly remembered the general secretary’s words.
It is the basic demand of the people and the deep concern of the general secretary to get medical treatment.
The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to push the focus of medical and health work down, the medical and health resources sink, promote the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, provide the masses with safe, effective, convenient and cheap public health and basic medical services, and truly solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for grassroots people.
Little by little efforts, leaps and bounds. In recent years, Shiye Town Health Center and Zhenjiang Rehabilitation Medical Group jointly set up five joint clinics, including cardiovascular and diabetes, which are equipped with medical equipment such as color Doppler ultrasound and automatic biochemical analyzer in addition to routine departments.
Wei Dingyu also clearly felt the changes in the health center: "Although it is in the town, it can also be treated by municipal hospitals." Old Wei had a knee pain a while ago. Zheng Wenhui, vice president of the Health Institute, took a film for him and immediately sent it to the First People’s Hospital of Zhenjiang. After more than a minute, the doctor diagnosed that it was hyperosteogeny. "From registration to filming, it only took me 5 minutes and spent 12 yuan. I didn’t even think about it before! "
The change of town health centers reflects the firm steps taken by Zhenjiang medical reform. Through remote consultation and graded diagnosis and treatment, grassroots hospitals and local top three hospitals have established a joint diagnosis and treatment mechanism, and ordinary people are increasingly enjoying more convenience and benefits of the "15-minute medical circle" at their doorstep.
Today, the outpatient service rate of residents in Shiye Town has increased from 63% before 2015 to 81.6% in 2018.
[Reporter’s Notes]
Whether the health center at home is built well or not is directly related to the health of the people.
Shiye Town is an "island" in the vast Yangtze River. In the past, about 14,000 people in the town were "afraid of illness and traffic".
After the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Shiye Town Health Center in December 2014, the "health dividend" brought by this township health center to residents is gradually being released, and "minor illness is not out of the island" is becoming a reality.
Wei Dingyu’s experience of "networking experts in minutes" is the epitome of "strengthening" many primary medical service institutions. At present, China has basically built a primary medical and health service network covering urban and rural areas, and strives to create a "15-minute medical circle" at home. The people’s expectation of "getting medical treatment" is turning into real benefits for seeing a doctor.
[Story 2] Health and poverty alleviation "get in the way"
Located in kelan county, Shanxi Province, deep in the mountainous area of Lvliang, the mountain valley is deep and the slope is steep and barren.
Road resistance, poverty and illness have tightly bound the villagers here.
In this barren land, the life of Wang Sannv’s family in Zhaojiawa Village is very difficult.
When she was young, Wang Sannv suffered from rheumatic heart disease and high blood pressure, and these years caused chronic bronchitis. To make matters worse, a few years ago, her husband and son passed away one after another, and her daughter-in-law left home, leaving her disabled grandson and granddaughter alone.
On the afternoon of June 21, 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into the home of this poor household to comfort Wang Sannv to live a good life, and urged local cadres to arrange special education for her grandson and granddaughter. This warmth is remembered by Wang Sannv.
Poverty caused by illness and returning to poverty due to illness, which is a "roadblock" on the road to poverty alleviation, is a problem that General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed must be solved.
After his inspection in kelan county, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader held a symposium in Taiyuan to tackle poverty in deep poverty-stricken areas, demanding that medical assistance, temporary assistance, charitable assistance and other assistance be increased for people who are poor due to illness.
Nowadays, with the relocation of the whole village, Wang Sannv has moved from an adobe house to a new building, and family doctors often come to the hospital to deliver medicines. Last year, Wang Sannv was hospitalized twice, with a total cost of 8,914.3 yuan, and she only spent 525.77 yuan.
Cheng Fusheng, director of kelan county Medical Security Bureau, said that in the past two years, we have implemented the requirements put forward by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader during his inspection. In the first half of this year, the poverty-stricken people in the county were hospitalized for 3,967 times, with a total cost of 26.1324 million yuan. After reimbursement through "three insurances and three rescues", the reimbursement rate of poor households exceeded 90%.
"Three insurances and three rescues" is a major livelihood project implemented by Shanxi Province to solve the poverty caused by illness after the investigation of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in Shanxi in 2017. Through basic medical insurance, serious illness insurance and supplementary medical insurance reimbursement, the poor people are guaranteed to see a doctor.
By the end of 2018, Wang Sannv’s family of three had successfully lifted themselves out of poverty. Nearly seventy years old, she sincerely felt: "It is our greatest blessing to catch up with the good times."
[Reporter’s Notes]
"When the ambulance rang, a pig was raised for nothing; I lived in the last hospital and lived in vain for one year. "
The widely circulated jingle is a true portrayal of farmers who are afraid of getting sick and can’t afford it.
Where there are difficulties, there is concern.
Under the cordial care of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, up to now, 6.7 million households in China have been lifted out of poverty due to illness, and the number of special diseases for the rural poor has increased to 25.
Find out the "foundation" of the poverty-stricken population due to illness, and open a "prescription" to solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment. In the next two years, China will accurately fill the shortcomings of the medical security policy and let more "three women" get out of the poverty caused by illness and return to poverty.
[Story 3] Keep the bottom line of drug safety for the people.
"Safety, reliability and reassurance"-Four years ago, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Yanji Co., Ltd., Jilin Aodong Pharmaceutical Group, and put forward such requirements for drug production.
"In the past four years, the entrustment of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has become the motto of each of us, and we will never forget it." You Haitao, deputy general manager of production, said.
It was dog days, and You Haitao was dressed in neat overalls.
After serving as the deputy general manager in charge of production, You Haitao became more aware of the people’s livelihood concerns behind a small pill: "A small pill is an enterprise’s responsibility for drug safety, effectiveness and innovation. It bears the life and death of the enterprise."
"The responsibility for drug safety is more important than Mount Tai … Every pharmaceutical company must earnestly fulfill its social responsibility to make every drug and every pill safe, reliable and reassuring." Standing in the workshop visited by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, You Haitao repeated the important speech of the General Secretary verbatim.
He told reporters that knowing these words by heart is not only because it is a "task" assigned by the general secretary, but also because a small pill is related to the safety of the people and cannot be sloppy.
From the whole process of cold chain transportation of animal organs and real-time recording of temperature, to the design and construction of domestic advanced freeze-dried powder injection production workshop and automatic inspection machine to realize the vacuum sealing inspection of products bottle by bottle, and then to the semi-annual simulated filling test of culture medium in each aseptic production line …
"Firmly control the quality of medicines." You Haitao said, "If you want the development of enterprises to be on the road forever, the quality and safety of drugs must be on the road forever."
[Reporter’s Notes]
Drug safety is a matter of life.
The convenience of new drugs and good drugs is the urgent hope of millions of patients.
Zero tariff on anticancer drugs, speeding up the examination and approval of new drugs, and establishing a whole-course traceability system … In recent years, the relevant state departments have made a combination of boxing and committed to writing "safety, reliability and reassurance" into the whole process of drug production, sales and use. With the gradual release of policy dividends, more patients will use safe drugs and cheap drugs.
