We need to establish and improve monitoring systems for fever clinics, sentinel hospitals, virus mutations, urban sewage, etc. We will explore pilot projects for monitoring multiple pathogens of acute respiratory infections, and initially form a multi-channel monitoring system that takes into account both normal and emergency situations, entry and local areas, urban and rural areas, general populations, and key populations.
Accelerate the construction of national level infectious disease emergency teams. Currently, 20 national acute infectious disease prevention and control teams have been established. This year, the central government has increased investment and support to build 5 new national prevention and control teams, and to establish grassroots infectious disease emergency teams in all cities and counties across the country. Wang Hesheng stated that we will further strengthen departmental linkage, medical prevention coordination, multi-channel communication, improve monitoring mechanisms, and form a multi-point trigger, rapid response, authoritative and efficient infectious disease monitoring and early warning system supported by national and provincial coordinated regional infectious disease monitoring and early warning and emergency command platforms.
Controlling major infectious diseases and building a strong public health protection network are of paramount importance in safeguarding people's health. Wang Hesheng introduced that at present, the spread of AIDS in China has been basically blocked through blood transfusion and blood products, the coverage rate of anti viral treatment has reached more than 90%, and the overall AIDS epidemic is at a low epidemic level; The incidence rate of tuberculosis in China has steadily declined, and the number of newly infected people with viral hepatitis has significantly decreased; The goal is to achieve control and elimination of some key parasitic diseases.
