Tibet Autonomous Region improves the level of medical and health services at the grass-roots level - it is convenient and reassuring to see a doctor at home (the snowy plateau has a new look)

"Fetal heart rate monitoring is very good, and B-ultrasound shows that the fetus is also very healthy." In the health center of Yumai Township, Longzi County, Shannan City, Tibet Autonomous Region, 27-year-old Cirenyangzong is doing a prenatal examination. In the past, we had to go to the city or county to do an inspection. "Now, we can do production inspection at home, which is convenient and reassuring!" Cirenyangzong said. The Yumai Township Health Center is a two-storey building with laboratories, internal medicine, prevention departments and other departments. It is equipped with seven professional medical staff, including general practitioners and nurses. In the lobby of the hospital, an intelligent health all-in-one machine is eye-catching. Once the patient swipes his/her ID card, he/she can perform routine tests such as height, weight and blood pressure. Then, the computer will automatically print the physical examination report to remind the patient of the matters needing attention. Qiu Jianliang, president of Yumai Township Health Center, has worked here for 10 years. "In the past, the hospital was unable to determine the exact cause of chest pain. Now, we have ECG examination equipment, which can help doctors make preliminary diagnosis and try not to delay the diagnosis and treatment of critical patients." Qiu Jianliang said that the hospital can also carry out B-ultrasound, blood routine, urine routine and other tests. For coma, shock and other emergencies, there are defibrillators, monitors and other medical aids. With the improvement of medical and health conditions and traffic conditions, Yumai Township has basically achieved the goal of not leaving the township with minor diseases, and the rapid diagnosis and transportation of major diseases. Qiu Jianliang said: "In the past, Yumai Township was closed for half a year, and it was not convenient for some critically ill patients to be treated in time. Now they can be sent to the county and municipal hospitals at the first time by ambulance." The 56-year-old villager Dobjie suffered from severe arthritis. Last year, he underwent surgery in Lhasa, and his condition was greatly relieved. Now, he only needs to come to the township health center regularly to take medicine. "85% of the operating expenses have been reimbursed, and the follow-up drugs are basically covered by medical insurance, which is very convenient for reimbursement," Dobj told reporters with a smile. The improvement of medical conditions in Yumai Township is a microcosm of the development of township health centers in Tibet. Tibet has formed an urban-rural medical service network covering all levels, and constantly improved the basic medical care, disease prevention and control, maternal and child health care, first aid and itinerant diagnosis and treatment system. At present, the average number of licensed (assistant) doctors in every township health center in Tibet is 3.4, basically achieving the goal of "most minor diseases do not leave the township", and all administrative villages achieve full coverage of health clinics. Gesang Yuzhen, director of the Health and Health Commission of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said, "We are gradually stabilizing and optimizing the team of rural doctors, striving to build a team of grass-roots doctors with high quality and adapt to needs, comprehensively improving the level of medical and health services at the grass-roots level in Tibet, and providing safe, effective, convenient, inexpensive basic medical services and equal basic public health services for the people in rural and pastoral areas." "In the next step, Tibet will focus on deepening the reform of the medical and health system, promoting the expansion, sinking and balanced distribution of high-quality medical resources, improving the capacity of grass-roots medical and health services, optimizing public health services, and providing 'one old and one young' and maternal and child health services. It will continue to promote the innovative development of Tibetan medicine, strengthen the medical and health talent team, and strive to promote the high-quality development of medical and health undertakings," said Ge Sang Yuzhen.
