China focuses on averting epidemics through multiple important measures:
1. Public health surveillance
Disease monitoring system:
China has established a comprehensive disease monitoring network that covers various levels of medical institutions from urban to rural areas. These institutions regularly report information on infectious diseases to the relevant health departments. For example, hospitals are required to report cases of notifiable infectious diseases in a timely manner. This allows for the early detection of abnormal increases in the incidence of certain diseases, whether they are emerging infectious diseases or the recurrence of known epidemic prone diseases.
Through big data and information technology, China can also monitor public health related information on a large scale. For instance, by analyzing data on outpatient visits, pharmacy sales of certain drugs, and search trends on the Internet for disease related keywords, it is possible to detect early signs of potential epidemics.
2. Vaccination programs
Routine immunization:
China has a well established routine immunization program that provides free vaccinations for children against a series of infectious diseases, such as measles, polio, hepatitis B, etc. These vaccines have been highly effective in reducing the incidence of corresponding diseases. For example, the polio vaccination campaign has almost eradicated polio in China.
Vaccine development and emergency use:
In the face of emerging epidemics, China actively promotes vaccine research and development. For the COVID 19 epidemic, China was among the first countries in the world to develop multiple types of vaccines through different technological routes. After strict safety and effectiveness testing, these vaccines were widely used for epidemic prevention and control, which played an important role in reducing the severity of the disease, hospitalization rates, and mortality.
3. Healthcare system strengthening
Medical infrastructure construction:
China has continuously increased investment in the construction of medical infrastructure. In urban areas, large scale general hospitals are equipped with advanced diagnosis and treatment equipment and professional medical teams. In rural areas, the construction of township hospitals and village clinics has also been continuously strengthened to improve the accessibility of medical services. This ensures that in the event of an epidemic, there are sufficient medical resources for diagnosis, treatment, and isolation.
Medical personnel training:
Great efforts are made to train medical personnel at all levels. Professional training programs are regularly carried out to improve the ability of medical staff to diagnose and treat infectious diseases, as well as their awareness of epidemic prevention and control. For example, training on infection prevention and control, the use of new diagnostic techniques and treatment methods for infectious diseases.
4. Community based prevention and control
Community mobilization:
Communities play a crucial role in epidemic prevention. China encourages community residents to participate in epidemic prevention work through various means. For example, community workers and volunteers actively promote epidemic prevention knowledge, distribute epidemic prevention materials, and organize community based epidemic prevention and control activities. Residents are also mobilized to cooperate with measures such as体温检测 (body temperature monitoring), travel history reporting, and quarantine when necessary.
Environmental management:
In communities, attention is paid to environmental hygiene management. Regular disinfection of public areas, garbage sorting and timely disposal are carried out to reduce the breeding of pathogens and the spread of diseases.
5. International cooperation
Sharing experience and information:
China actively shares its experience and practices in epidemic prevention and control with other countries. For example, during the COVID 19 epidemic, China held many international video conferences to introduce its experience in epidemic monitoring, diagnosis and treatment, and prevention and control measures to the international community. At the same time, China also exchanges relevant scientific research results on epidemic prevention and control with other countries.
Collaborative research:
China collaborates with international scientific research institutions in areas such as pathogen research, vaccine development, and drug research. By pooling global scientific research resources, it is possible to better respond to global epidemic challenges.
