On February 28, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the progress and effectiveness of health and answer questions.

At the press conference, The Paper (www.The reporter asked that early detection, early reporting, and early treatment of emerging infectious diseases are very important. What are the current upgrades to China's infectious disease surveillance system and online direct reporting system? How to ensure that the outbreak of infectious diseases can be detected in time and accurately reported as soon as possible?

In this regard, Qin Xingqiang, deputy director of the Comprehensive Department of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said that at present, China has established an online direct reporting system for notifiable infectious diseases and public health emergencies, covering 840,000 health care facilities; Carry out special monitoring of key infectious diseases such as plague and polio all year round. In response to respiratory diseases such as the new crown, ten monitoring subsystems have been expanded and formed, including sentinel hospital monitoring, virus mutation monitoring, urban sewage monitoring, and public opinion monitoring, and a pilot project of multi-pathogen monitoring of acute respiratory diseases has been carried out, and four types of risk signals have been set up, the monitoring results have been scientifically studied and judged, and early warning information has been reported and released in a timely manner, providing strong technical support for effective epidemic prevention and control.

In the next step, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention will comprehensively promote the construction of an intelligent multi-point trigger infectious disease monitoring and early warning system, focusing on emerging infectious diseases, and continuously improve the ability of early detection, scientific assessment and timely early warning of infectious diseases, focusing on four aspects:

The first is to improve the system and mechanism. Establish and improve systems for monitoring, risk assessment, and early warning of infectious diseases, clarify the work responsibilities of relevant units, and further improve working mechanisms such as multi-departmental information sharing and consultation, medical and prevention coordination, and emergency conversion.

The second is to expand monitoring channels. On the basis of optimizing the existing epidemic monitoring and reporting system, improve the monitoring system for clinical symptoms, pathogenic microorganisms, vectors and environmental factors of infectious diseases, build a coordinated monitoring system between departments, smooth the channels for public participation, pay close attention to changes in the global epidemic situation of infectious diseases, and carry out monitoring work at multiple sources.

The third is to standardize assessment and early warning. Improve the workflow for risk assessment, warning information notification and early warning decision-making, carry out routine and thematic risk assessments, promptly report and publish epidemic information and health risk reminders, and put forward early warning decision-making suggestions in a timely manner.

Fourth, improve professional ability. Strengthen the construction of professional talent teams, and accelerate the improvement of pathogenic microorganism detection, genome sequencing and other capabilities. Establish and improve the information platform for monitoring and early warning of infectious diseases and emergency command, gradually realize the automatic collection, processing, analysis and early warning of monitoring data, and continuously improve the ability of comprehensive research and judgment.
