Guangzhou studies and arranges prevention and treatment of dengue fever epidemic.
On the afternoon of 5th, Chen Jianhua, the commander-in-chief of Guangzhou dengue epidemic prevention and control headquarters and mayor of Guangzhou, visited some hospitals where dengue patients were treated, and presided over a symposium of experts on epidemic prevention and control to study and arrange the prevention and treatment of dengue epidemic.
On the afternoon of the 5th, Chen Jianhua visited the Eighth People’s Hospital of Guangzhou, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the First People’s Hospital of Guangzhou. He carefully inspected the mosquito prevention measures in the inpatient area of dengue fever patients in the hospital, walked into the ward, had a cordial conversation with dengue fever patients, learned about the disease process and isolation treatment, and told the hospital to treat them carefully and wished the patients a speedy recovery. In the out-patient department of the hospital, Chen Jianhua learned about the blood test and expressed condolences to the medical staff. He especially asked the hospital to do a good job of killing mosquitoes to ensure that people who went to the hospital were not infected by dengue fever.
After on-the-spot investigation, Chen Jianhua hosted a symposium in Guangzhou Municipal Health Bureau. At the meeting, the Guangzhou Municipal Health Bureau informed the relevant situation. Members of the expert group on dengue epidemic prevention and control spoke in succession and put forward opinions and suggestions on diagnosis and treatment, isolation of infectious sources, environmental management, etc. The person in charge of the hospital where dengue patients attended the meeting said that they would resolutely complete the task as required.
Chen Jianhua pointed out in his speech that at present, the epidemic situation of dengue fever in Guangzhou presents a trend of high incidence, and the situation of prevention and control is still grim. It is necessary to grasp the law, increase mosquito control efforts in key places such as rivers, parks and construction sites, remove stagnant water, and explore the reconstruction of mosquito control and mosquito control biological systems. We should base ourselves on early detection, early diagnosis, early isolation and early treatment. Patients should be well isolated when they are treated in hospitals or at home. Anti-mosquito screen doors, screens and mosquito nets should be installed to prevent the virus from spreading through mosquitoes. Hospitals should earnestly shoulder the responsibility of mosquito control in the hospital, and strictly monitor it to ensure that the adult mosquito density and "Brethous" index in the hospital are zero.
Chen Jianhua said that the prevention and control of infectious diseases is a systematic project, which requires multidisciplinary joint operations, the combination of experts and the masses, and the implementation of prevention and treatment by groups. It is necessary to strengthen inspection and testing, improve diagnostic efficiency, study symptomatic treatment, and explore the establishment of "Guangzhou standard" for dengue fever treatment. Guangzhou, as the medical and health center in Lingnan area, should continue to take the lead in epidemic prevention and control. Consider taking the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases including dengue fever as a major scientific research project, and organize multidisciplinary research to achieve preventable, treatable and controllable diseases.
At the end of the symposium, Chen Jianhua, on behalf of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, expressed his gratitude to the medical staff who participated in the battle for prevention and treatment of dengue fever in Guangzhou. (Reporter/Zhang Xilu correspondent/Sui Fuxin)
