At the press conference of the State Council Information Office held on the morning of April 29, Li Bin, deputy director of the committee, responded to questions about how to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and normal medical services. It is understood that the deployment of the National Health and Health Commission requires all localities to set up yellow code hospitals and open cloud clinics. For critically ill patients with unknown nucleic acid test results, emergency, emergency rooms, operating rooms, and wards should be set up in a timely manner and standardized. In the buffer area, medical staff strictly implement the responsibility system for the first diagnosis and the system for emergency and critical care, do a good job in personal protection, provide timely and effective treatment, and do not excuse or delay treatment for any reason.

In the context of epidemic prevention and control, one of the things that many people are most worried about is the problem of seeking medical treatment for special groups: if the people around them or themselves need dialysis or surgery because of diseases, and pregnant women need to have children, can they Whether a channel for medical treatment can be found in a timely manner is not only a matter of life and health of ordinary people, but also a test of the overall planning ability of relevant government departments under the epidemic, especially in the closed control area.

Therefore, in the current situation of epidemics in many parts of the country, the National Health and Health Commission requires all localities to “establish yellow code hospitals” and “open cloud outpatient clinics” and other measures are obviously very realistic and targeted, which is conducive to further dredging Obstruction of medical resources in special times.

For a long time, how to balance epidemic prevention and control with normal medical services has always been the focus of public opinion. Previously, due to the mechanized implementation of epidemic prevention regulations, some localities failed to do a good job in seeking medical treatment for special groups such as pregnant women and dialysis patients, resulting in corresponding tragic incidents, which is undoubtedly an extremely painful lesson.

In this context, the deployment of the National Health and Health Commission requires all localities to “set up yellow code hospitals” and “open cloud outpatient clinics”, which undoubtedly follows the principles of accurate research and scientific planning, which is conducive to “classification”. “Diagnosis and treatment”, to precisely protect the life, health and safety of each individual. Such an approach undoubtedly echoes the voice of the people in a timely manner, and truly implements the concept of “people first, life first”.

and demanded that “for critically ill patients with unknown nucleic acid test results, the buffer areas set up in emergency rooms, emergency rooms, operating rooms, and wards should be activated and standardized in a timely manner. ”, will undoubtedly further refine and strengthen the corresponding problem solutions.

In this regard, some places have already taken action. For example, on April 28, Beijing required that “emergency rooms, dialysis rooms, operating rooms, intensive care units and other non-essential and non-essential closures be controlled and controlled”, and required medical institutions to reasonably set up buffer zones in emergency rescue rooms, operating rooms, and wards , to provide treatment services for critically ill patients who cannot rule out new coronavirus infection but need emergency treatment or hospitalization.

While responding to the voices of the people, it also puts forward higher requirements for the current epidemic prevention and control system. This requires that the operation of the current prevention and control system should be more scientific and effective, and the formulation of corresponding measures should be more refined, so that the use of medical resources can be more fully and rationally used, so that the medical resources of these key departments can fully meet people’s medical needs. It should be changed according to the times and needs, so as to avoid the situation that the acute and critical patients are not received by the hospital.

In addition, it should be reminded that it is now on the eve of the “May Day” holiday. How to meet the people’s normal medical needs during the holiday also needs to put forward feasible measures and plan ahead.

On April 28, the National Health and Medical Commission required medical institutions to make arrangements for medical services during holidays, to ensure that the emergency room is open 24 hours a day, and no suspension or refusal of treatment occurs. This is not the first time that a similar request has been made, but “important things are said three times”, which also shows the importance of “no suspension and refusal”.

In the final analysis, whether it is asking for “the establishment of a yellow code hospital” or “no suspension and refusal”, it is basically to achieve “two hands” – not only to do our best to do Good epidemic prevention work, but also to ensure the normal medical order, to ensure the public’s daily medical needs. The key to this process is that relevant government departments must continue to create various favorable conditions to help medical institutions coordinate epidemic prevention and control and normal medical services, so as to make epidemic prevention and control more scientific and effective, and accurately maintain the health and safety of every life. .
