Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people, and there is no cure. There are about 3 million Parkinson’s disease patients in my country. According to the prediction of World Health Organization experts, by 2030, the number of Parkinson’s disease patients in my country will reach 5 million. Studies have shown that it takes an average of more than one year for Parkinson’s disease patients from onset to diagnosis. Even in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the treatment rate is only over 70%.

The “White Paper on the Practice Survey of Chinese Neurologists” shows that the number of neurologists in my country is about 100,000, which is equivalent to that one doctor has to manage at least 100 patients with Parkinson’s disease. How to achieve high-quality management with limited medical resources is the current issue. Challenges in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Professor Chen Shengdi from the Department of Neurology, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, introduced that the Neurology Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association has launched a Parkinson’s disease specialist center and Parkinson’s disease one-stop diagnosis and treatment center in 2020 building. Through the network of diagnosis and treatment centers that have begun to form a large scale, a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model will be established, and efforts will be made to improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in an all-round way. “After two years of construction, 17 advanced centers, 34 standard centers, 28 standard Primary center.” The center links patients, families, doctors, hospitals and medical institutions, communities, online pharmacies, etc., patients only need to register one number to obtain professional and standardized diagnosis and treatment in the diagnosis and treatment service area.
