How to give full play to the advantages of Tibetan medicine so that the masses can get sick less and see the disease, can afford the disease, and can see the disease well, is the issue that I am most concerned about. Tashi Dunzhu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and president of the Ali Tibetan Hospital, said. When this reporter interviewed Tashi Dhondrup, he was constantly supplementing and improving the proposal to be submitted to the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress this year, hoping to make a modest contribution to improving the medical and health conditions in high-altitude areas.
At the beginning of 2023, Tashi Dhondrup was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) living in Tibet.
During the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress last year, Tashi Dunzhu put forward relevant suggestions on the high-quality development of Tibetan medicine based on years of clinical practice and research results, which received positive responses from relevant departments. After the end of the two sessions, he returned to Ali as soon as possible, went to the grassroots level to preach the spirit of the two sessions, and then went to Gar, Gaizhi, Cuoqin, Zada and other places to carry out free inspections and research on the current situation of medical and health care in high-altitude areas.
I learned in the free clinic that in recent years, with the continuous improvement of medical conditions in high-altitude areas, most of the people can have minor illnesses in the local area, and major illnesses can be in regional hospitals. "For the people in the farming and pastoral areas, 'not being able to see a doctor and not being able to see a doctor' has become a thing of the past. What we need to do now is to build on a strong primary medical team and supporting hardware medical facilities, so that farmers and herders can be cured with less money. ”
On strengthening and improving health conditions in high-altitude areas' is the proposal I am going to submit this time. After long-term research, I found that people in agricultural and pastoral areas are at high risk of suffering from high-altitude diseases such as hypertension, high-altitude polycythemia and rheumatoid joint disease due to long-term grazing in the wild, affected by lack of oxygen and cold weather. In this regard, I suggest that oxygen stations be built in high-altitude counties and townships, and gradually extended to villages, so as to provide oxygen to every household, and encourage people over 40 years old to take an appropriate amount of oxygen every day according to their personal physique. At the same time, Tibetan medicine baths were built in each county and township to prevent and treat rheumatic joint diseases. Tashi Dunzhu told reporters, "If the work of oxygen production and supply can be popularized in the high-altitude counties and townships of the whole region, it will certainly benefit the vast number of farmers and herdsmen." ”
In 2023, Ali Tibetan Hospital and ** University of Tibetan Medicine will hold a national academic exchange meeting on Tibetan medicine. The meeting focused on the birthplace of Tibetan medicine, the high-quality development of Tibetan medicine, and the protection of people's health, and other topics, and the results were fruitful. As an organizer and participant, Tashi Dunzhu insisted on walking in the front and doing it first, and interpreted the responsibilities and responsibilities of CPPCC members with practical actions.
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), I will, as always, pay attention to the needs of the people and live up to their trust and expectations. Tashi Dhondrup said.
