Ministry of Health deploys prevention and control of key infectious diseases such as hand, foot and mouth disease

According to the Ministry of Health website, since the beginning of this year, the situation of statutory infectious diseases across the country has been generally stable, but the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease, number of critical illnesses and deaths have increased significantly compared with the same period of last year. Flu-like cases of localized areas have become more common, with brucellosis and bleeding. The epidemic of infectious diseases such as fever is still at a relatively high level, and the prevention and control of infectious diseases is very serious.

In order to further improve the prevention and control of key infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease, the General Office of the Ministry of Health issued a notice requiring all localities to do the following:

—— Local health administrative departments at all levels must strengthen local responsibility for communicable disease prevention and control. Under the unified leadership of the local government, the government should increase investment to formulate prevention and control of key infectious diseases in the area and key risk factors affecting the epidemic. The plan is to establish a supervision and inspection system, clearly check the contents and standards, and regularly organize the supervision and inspection of prevention and control of key infectious diseases. It is necessary to further improve the departmental cooperation mechanism and carry out joint prevention and control of common infectious diseases in schools and communicable diseases between humans and animals.

-- The disease prevention and control centers at all levels must further improve the network direct reporting system for infectious disease epidemics, ensure that the epidemic reporting channels are unblocked, and continuously improve the quality of the epidemic report. It is necessary to strengthen the early warning and prediction of the epidemic situation of infectious diseases and carry out active monitoring in key areas and groups such as schools, kindergartens, construction sites, farmers' markets, and migrant populations. It is necessary to further strengthen the detection of pathogens to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Once the epidemic of infectious diseases is discovered, epidemiological investigations must be conducted in a timely manner and decisive measures must be taken to control them so as to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention shall further strengthen its support and guidance for monitoring, early warning, investigation and disposal of infectious diseases in various places.

——In areas with high incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease, it is necessary to work together with related departments to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the morning inspection system and environmental disinfection of child care institutions and school children, and to make a good diagnosis of hand-foot-mouth disease and other rash diseases. Improve the accuracy of the epidemic report. In regions where influenza-like illnesses are clustered and epidemics occur frequently, it is necessary to do a good job in analysis of epidemics and laboratory tests, and take targeted measures to effectively control the spread of the epidemic. In places with a high incidence of brucellosis, it is necessary to continue to strengthen cooperation with the livestock sector and promote the prevention and control of brucellosis among livestock, in order to discover and standardize the treatment of patients early and reduce chronicity. In areas with a high prevalence of epidemic hemorrhagic fever, surveillance of the epidemic situation of human and rat haemorrhagic fever should be strengthened, epidemiological investigations and epidemic outbreaks should be well done, and immunization prevention should be carried out in key areas and key populations, and the relevant agencies should be actively coordinated to carry out prevention. Rats, rodent control activities, effectively reduce the mouse density. In areas with high dengue fever outbreak risk, surveillance of the epidemic and density of mosquitoes should be carefully conducted, and suspicious fever cases should be actively searched for and the work of anti-mosquito must be actively carried out.

-- The medical and health institutions at all levels should, in accordance with the requirements of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, earnestly do a good job in the registration and reporting of infectious disease epidemics, implement the "Measures for the Management of Nosocomial Infections" and related technical norms and standards, and strictly implement pre-contagion diseases. The system of medical examinations, adherence to the work of outpatient clinics and fever clinics, and effective implementation of hospital infection control measures such as disinfection and isolation. In accordance with the needs of local prevention and treatment of diseases, we must strengthen capacity building, organize professional training, improve facilities for the treatment of critically ill patients, strengthen the management of medical service quality, improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment, and focus on strengthening the severe EV71 hand, foot and mouth disease. The early detection, early diagnosis, early reporting, and early treatment of children were performed to reduce the occurrence of severe cases and deaths.

—— All localities must combine the theme activities of the Patriotic Health Month to conduct in-depth clean and tidy urban and rural environmental sanitation operations, further intensify efforts to rectify environmental sanitation, pay close attention to clean-up of health corners, remove exposed garbage and sewage pits, clear mosquito breeding grounds, and do a good job of water improvement. The toilets and excrement are harmlessly disposed of, and the sanitation of households, residential areas, primary and secondary schools, and child care institutions is effectively carried out to cut off the transmission of infectious diseases, particularly intestinal and insect-borne diseases.

—— All localities must extensively carry out various forms of health education activities, popularize the knowledge of prevention and treatment of key infectious diseases, guide the public to do a good job in personal hygiene protection, actively advocate scientific, civilized and healthy lifestyles, and increase public awareness of disease prevention and self-protection . We must promptly, accurately and objectively publish information on the epidemic and prevention and control work, give full play to the important role of 12320, the Internet, hotline, and other media, properly guide media public opinion, eliminate the spread of rumors in a timely manner, and strive to take the initiative in news and publicity so as to ensure the epidemic of key infectious diseases. The prevention and control work was smooth and smooth.
