From the data disclosed at this press conference, it can be seen that the current epidemic prevention and control in Guangzhou has reached a critical point, and there can be no relaxation.
“Baiyun District has issued ‘exit card’ to all units, urban villages, property communities and buildings without property management in the control area, one card per household, and this card can only be used for one exit. One person can only go out of the house, not out of the community.” These strict measures are believed to be understood by the public. In the control area, some normal needs of citizens must also be responded to. This is actually the basis for the prevention and control measures to gain support from the public.
As we all know, during the epidemic, whether the public access to medical treatment is unobstructed has always been one of the focuses of the public.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council has issued three orders and five requests to ensure normal medical services while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control. People in need of medical treatment, especially critically ill patients, should be treated in a timely manner, and should not be excused from refusing treatment.
In the control area of Baiyun District, whether some normal and urgent medical needs of citizens can be guaranteed has naturally become a concern of people.
At this press conference, the relevant departments gave those concerned a “reassuring pill”, because Guangzhou has always been committed to establishing a three-level diagnosis and treatment service system within the control area. Practice has proved that this three-level diagnosis and treatment service system has fully played its positive role.

According to the three-level diagnosis and treatment service system, the mobile medical team composed of one doctor and two nurses is the first level, providing telephone consultation and door-to-door delivery for residents in need. The second-level community health service center provides basic medical services such as common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases; the third-level is the third-level hospital, which is responsible for providing pregnant and lying-in women, hemodialysis, tumors, mental health and difficult and critically ill patients. Medical emergency services.
In addition to meeting the normal medical needs, some emergency situations cannot be ignored. In this regard, the Guangzhou Emergency Medical Command Center has established a 24-hour special pre-hospital emergency transfer team, and each district has established a 24-hour second-line transfer special class to provide first aid and referral services to citizens in the control area.
It is not difficult to find that as long as the medical treatment process is optimized, the responsibilities of all parties are compacted, and all links are smoothed, this three-level diagnosis and treatment service system can operate rapidly, and it can provide various medical treatment services during the critical period of epidemic prevention and control. Timely and appropriate responses are required.
According to the press conference, as of 12:00 on April 15, a total of 723 medical needs of the people in the control area have been coordinated and resolved, and 459 people have been transferred to hospitals for treatment, including 170 patients on hemodialysis. There were 91 pregnant women, 26 children, and 172 other diseases. The data shows that if the organization and mobilization are effective, it is an achievable goal that neither affects the prevention and control nor delays the disease.
Once such a goal is achieved, it will naturally be full of confidence in the prospect of Guangzhou’s war against the epidemic.
