Science and technology war "epidemic", Xi Jinping stressed to do these things well

The 6th issue of Seeking Truth, published on March 16, will publish an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping, "Providing Strong Scientific and Technological Support for Winning the Epidemic Prevention and Control War." This is the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping on March 2, 2020 at a discussion with the responsible comrades of relevant departments and experts and scholars on the scientific research work of epidemic prevention and control.

Xi Jinping pointed out that throughout the history of human development, the most powerful weapon for mankind to compete with diseases is science and technology. Mankind cannot overcome major disasters and epidemics without scientific development and technological innovation. With the power of science and technology to fight the epidemic, Xi Jinping stressed the need to do these things well.

0 1

We have not yet fully understood the source and host of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the route of transmission, the mechanism of disease, the harmfulness and lethality, the treatment plan, the treatment drugs, and whether there are any sequelae after the patient recovers. The more we face this situation, the more we must insist on asking science for answers and methods.

0 2

It is necessary to strengthen the combination of drug and medical equipment research and development and clinical treatment to effectively improve the cure rate and reduce the mortality rate. To do our best to save the lives of more patients is a top priority.

0 3

Scientific research should take the treatment of critically ill patients as a top priority, strengthen the support of scientific research and the deployment of front-line treatment, adhere to the coordination of clinical research and clinical treatment, and make scientific research results more inclined to the clinical front line. It is necessary to adopt advanced treatment methods such as convalescent plasma, stem cells, and monoclonal antibodies to improve the level of treatment for severe and critical illnesses, and minimize the mortality rate.

As a special product for healthy people, vaccines are very important for epidemic prevention and control, and the requirements for safety are also the first. It is necessary to promote the organic connection between vaccine research and development and the industrialization chain, and make comprehensive preparations for the possible normalization of prevention and control work. It is necessary to be based on the current and long-term perspective, accelerate the establishment of a vaccine research and development and industrialization system with enterprises as the main body and a combination of production, education and research, and establish a national vaccine reserve system.

0 5

Coordinate research on the traceability of the virus and its transmission routes, and find out where the source of the disease comes from and where it goes. Use new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to carry out epidemiological and traceability investigations to improve accuracy and screening efficiency. Research on the source and route of transmission of the virus is crucial to the prevention and control of the entire epidemic and must be made clear.

0 6

Biosafety should be regarded as an important part of the country's overall security, adhere to the combination of peacetime and wartime, prevention and emergency, scientific research and treatment prevention and control, and strengthen the system and capacity building of epidemic prevention and control and public health scientific research.

0 7

It is necessary to study and establish a command, action, and guarantee system for scientific research and tackling key problems after the epidemic has spread into a state of emergency, and prepare emergency action guidelines at ordinary times and start them quickly in case of emergency.

0 8

It is necessary to improve the new national system for tackling key core technologies, accelerate the layout of scientific research forces in the fields of population health and biosafety, integrate national key scientific research systems in the fields of life sciences, biotechnology, medicine and health, and medical equipment, and lay out a number of national clinical medical research centers, increase scientific and technological investment in the field of health, and strengthen basic research in the field of life sciences and breakthroughs in key core technologies of medical health, accelerate the improvement of strategic scientific and technological strength and strategic reserve capacity in the field of epidemic prevention and control and public health.

0 9

It is necessary to speed up the short board of China's high-end medical equipment, speed up the key core technology research, break through the bottleneck of these technical equipment, and realize the independent control of high-end medical equipment.

It is necessary to strengthen communication and exchanges with the WHO, and scientific research cooperation with relevant countries, especially countries with high epidemics, in traceability, drugs, vaccines, testing, etc., under the premise of ensuring national security, share scientific research data and information, and jointly study and propose coping strategies, To contribute wisdom and strength to the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
