Give full play to the advantages to help improve the medical and health level of the county.
In August this year, Guangdong launched the implementation of the "Double Hundred Action", and 100 colleges and universities in the province and 109 agriculture-related counties (cities and districts) were paired to establish close cooperative relations and promote two-way travel and win-win cooperation. In accordance with the requirements of "what the county needs, what the university can do", the School of Medicine of Shantou University combined with the assistance needs of Jiexi County and Nanao County, coordinated the superior resources of the college and affiliated hospitals, and determined that the basic medical public services were the main combination point of the development of the medical school and the county.
Shantou University School of Medicine and 5 directly affiliated hospitals twisted into a rope, made precise efforts, and went to the front line of the countryside in full swing, in accordance with the original foundation, increased assistance, clarified work goals and tasks, and formulated a support mechanism. From hospital management, discipline construction, talent training, scientific research and teaching to service culture, we will promote the comprehensive improvement of the health undertakings of the two counties from multiple perspectives.
In the assistance work, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College took the initiative to jointly build with the medical and health units of Jiexi County, sink high-quality medical resources to the county, promote the development of health care in Jiexi County, and strengthen the support of local medical science and technology. The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College has provided group medical assistance to the Second People's Hospital of Jiexi County, and has built a "one-to-one" close assistance model through the methods of "hospital helping hospitals" and "department helping departments", actively participating in the construction of advantageous specialties and assisting the construction of weak departments. The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College carried out the "Double Hundred Action in South Australia" action to provide technical guidance for Nanao County People's Hospital. Shantou University, Chinese University of Hong Kong and Shantou International Eye Center have formulated technical assistance programs to improve ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment technology in response to the needs of the Central Health Center of Gray Village Town, Jiexi County. The Jingwei Center of Shantou University carried out the community action of patients with severe mental disorders in Nanao County to improve patients' medication compliance and reduce the rate.
A medical assistance action was slowly launched at the grassroots level in the county.
Cultivating talents will bring new "medical support" to the county
It's a two-way street. Participating in the "Double Hundred Action" not only provides an important way for colleges and universities to comprehensively improve the quality of talent training, the level of transformation of scientific research achievements and the ability to serve the society, but also allows them to achieve a win-win situation in joint assistance. After the test of practice, the Medical College of Shantou University and the five directly affiliated hospitals have established deep cooperation with the supporting institutions.
For example, the First Affiliated Hospital and Jiexi Medical and Health System have a good history of cooperation, with the help of this opportunity, the First Affiliated Hospital has carried out a comprehensive plan for the assistance project in a five-year cycle, including strengthening a number of clinical specialties, cultivating a group of backbone talents, filling a number of technical gaps, improving a number of management systems, further narrowing the gap between urban and rural medical service levels, building a strong county leader in the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and striving to achieve the goal of not leaving the county for common diseases. Since the launch of the assistance activities, the hospital has organized 2 on-site investigations, 2 on-site trainings, and 3 remote academic exchange activities, and received 13 critically ill patients transferred by the recipient hospitals, of which 9 cases were relieved and discharged after rescue.
Shantou International Eye Center adheres to the concept of "teaching people to fish and helping people to help themselves", and has carried out a series of technical support projects in the Central Health Center of Grayzhai Town, Jiexi County. A total of 19 cases of "one-to-one" teaching of phacoemulsification surgery have been completed, 8 person-times of animal eye practical training, 157 person-times of remote theoretical training, 536 cases of remote image analysis, 16 cases of difficult cases of transfer, 1 medical staff for further study, and 3 person-times of medical staff of the hospital to participate in large-scale ophthalmology academic exchange activities.
Teaching people to "fish" should also teach people to "fish", and medical assistance has brought new "medical support" to the county.
Improve the medical and health knowledge of the grassroots people.
Since the start of the assistance work, the Medical College of Shantou University and five directly affiliated hospitals have introduced new equipment and technology to the grassroots assistance units, so that the grassroots people can truly experience the benefits brought by medical assistance.
For example, the Affiliated Cancer Hospital selects endoscopy experts to Nanao County People's Hospital every Saturday for technical guidance and provides free ** gastroscopy screening for people aged 40-69. In the past two months, a total of 114 cases of free ** gastroscopy have been carried out, and 1 patient with high-grade esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia and 1 case of esophageal cancer have been found, and a financial subsidy of 5,000 yuan has been given to the patient with esophageal cancer. At the same time, the oncology expert team went deep into Jinshan Village, Shenao Town, Nanao County to carry out free clinics and free gastroscopy screening publicity activities, popularize the knowledge of early prevention and intervention, and improve the public's understanding of the importance of early screening and early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
The Mental Health Center of Shantou University has carried out the community action of patients with severe mental disorders in Nanao County by building a "love bridge" to protect the "people who seek the sea". By setting up a psychiatric team and providing free medical resources and support, we can improve patients' medication compliance and reduce the ** rate. Up to now, 404 patients with mental illness have been registered in Nanao County, Shantou City, and 382 have been on stable medication, with a medication rate of 9168%, and there have been 0 accidents caused by local mental illness patients in the past five years.
The season accumulates energy, and the earth is full of vitality. Under the "Double Hundred Action", the medical school of Shantou University, five directly affiliated hospitals and counties will work together to create a new world of rural revitalization. In the future, the School of Medicine of Shantou University will continue to make efforts in basic public services such as education and cultural construction, scientific and technological support for industrial development, grassroots talent training, and decision-making consultation according to the specific needs of assistance, so as to serve the "Millions and Thousands Project" as an opportunity to improve the quality of the college's education and the effectiveness of education.
Front-line practice. Build a "bridge of love".
Guarding the "Sea Seekers".
Nanao County is the only island county in Guangdong Province, with a permanent population of about 770,000 people, including 404 people with certified mental disabilities. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, patients often become ill due to the failure to seek medical attention and obtain drugs in time, which not only brings physical and mental harm to patients, but also makes disease control and the community** face severe challenges.
Since 2015, the Mental Health Center of Shantou University has set up a professional team of psychiatrists and psychiatrists** to regularly visit Houzhai Town, Yunao Town, Shenao Town and Qingao Town in Nanao County every month to provide diagnosis and treatment services for local patients with mental illness. At the same time, integrate resources to provide patients with necessary free medical resources (drugs) support, and do a good job in health education for patients and their families, and popularize the best knowledge of mental diseases. So far, more than 9,500 patients have been diagnosed and treated and free drugs have been provided, with an average of more than 1,000 people diagnosed and treated every year, and the activities have covered most of the local patients with mental illness.
The medical assistance provided by the Mental Health Center of Shantou University has solved the problems of "difficult and expensive medical treatment" for local residents' psychiatric specialties, and met the needs of local residents for psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. In the future, the Mental Health Center of Shantou University will combine the "Double Hundred Action" with the actual development of the hospital to expand mental health services, improve the level of local mental health diagnosis and treatment, and create a more stable and harmonious happy society.
