2023-12-18   

At present, the overall diagnosis and treatment volume of respiratory diseases in outpatient and emergency departments of medical institutions across the country is showing a downward trend. Recently, various regions have actively expanded medical resources and continued to increase relevant outpatient and emergency diagnosis rooms and inpatient beds. Monitoring shows that grassroots fever clinics and clinics account for approximately 44% of the total number of fever clinics and clinics in medical institutions nationwide, effectively meeting the medical needs of patients. On December 17th, the National Health Commission held a press conference in Beijing to introduce the prevention and treatment of winter respiratory diseases in China. Shen Haiping, Deputy Director of the Maternal and Child Health Department of the National Health Commission, stated that in recent times, as children's respiratory diseases have entered a high incidence period, the National Health Commission has coordinated and guided the expansion and efficiency improvement of maternal and child health institutions at all levels, fully ensuring the medical needs of children. Firstly, expand pediatric service resources, guide maternal and child health institutions to strengthen personnel allocation, and maximize the satisfaction of children's medical needs; The second is to optimize the spatial layout and medical treatment process, promote pre diagnosis examination and testing services, smooth the green channel for emergency and critical care treatment, and gradually realize the hierarchical and differentiated treatment of pediatric patients; Third, promote the "Internet plus" service, and reduce the pressure of offline medical treatment through online outpatient return visits, online prescription issuance, and logistics distribution of drugs to home. How can parents resolve concerns about the lack of experience in treating children's diseases in maternal and child health institutions? Li Caihong, the director of Xinmi Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Henan Province, introduced that maternal and child health institutions are specialized in providing health care and disease diagnosis and treatment services for women and children. "Taking our hospital as an example, we mainly adopt measures such as improving personnel capabilities, strengthening equipment allocation, accepting quality control, and establishing referral channels. Severely ill patients will be promptly transferred to relevant medical institutions through the consultation referral green channel to ensure timely treatment." "Our monitoring of the service situation in 9 major cities including Beijing shows that the daily average outpatient and emergency volume of pediatric respiratory diseases in maternal and child health institutions has increased from 31000 people in September to 47000 people in mid December, an increase of 52%. Maternal and child health institutions have played an important role." Shen Haiping said that currently, 98% of national tertiary maternal and child health hospitals and 91% of secondary maternal and child health hospitals have pediatrics, There are 67800 beds in the pediatric department of various levels of maternal and child health hospitals. In order to help parents improve their health awareness and enhance their children's disease prevention ability, Shen Haiping stated that the current national system management rate for children under 3 years old and the health management rate for children under 7 years old are both above 90%, in combination with child health services to strengthen children's health guidance. At present, China is strengthening children's health guidance in conjunction with child health services, continuously increasing science popularization and publicity efforts, and providing targeted technical guidance to childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools, and other institutions with a large number of children, to prevent the occurrence of clustered diseases. Regarding the issue of some parents urging their children to continue learning with illness, Lu Gen, director of the Respiratory Department at Guangzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Guangdong Province, said that parents should choose to rest at home or seek medical treatment in a timely manner based on the changes in the child's condition, and should not enter the kindergarten or attend classes with illness. Avoid self administering antibiotics to children. So, can children take medication to prevent influenza? Lugen said that getting vaccinated against influenza is the most effective and economical way to prevent it. A large number of research and practice have been conducted both domestically and internationally
