Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

On December 1987, 12, after three days of preparation and intensive training, the medical team to aid Shanghai, composed of 29 medical staff and 600 engineering soldiers, officially headed south to assist Shanghai.

In addition to personnel, the team also carried a large amount of anti-epidemic materials when they went south, including military tents, masks, disposable needles, etc.

Of course, medicines are also indispensable.

You must know that medicine is one of the pillar industries in Babaoliang Town. There are not only medical research and development centers and large and small hospitals, but also major pharmaceutical factories such as Saibei Province No. 9 Pharmaceutical Factory.

In terms of pharmaceutical research and development and production, Babaoliang Town has reached the forefront of the country. Even many big cities cannot compare with it.

When the medical team from the 18th Research Institute set out to assist Shanghai, the Ministry of Health also confirmed that a hepatitis A epidemic had indeed occurred in Shanghai.

At Zhou Yang's reminder, the Ministry of Health dispatched infectious disease experts three days ago and rushed to Shanghai at night to investigate and verify the substantial increase in local liver disease patients.

After careful investigation and analysis, the expert team came to the same conclusion as Zhou Yang. A hepatitis A epidemic has indeed occurred in the Shanghai area, and the situation is very serious.

Although the cause of the current epidemic has not been found out, the expert team has inferred based on what they learned from major hospitals in Shanghai that the current epidemic in Shanghai does indeed exist and is about to enter a large-scale outbreak period. We hope that the Ministry of Health and Shanghai City governments are well prepared to fight the epidemic.

When this conclusion of the expert group was sent to the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Health and the Shanghai Municipal Government, everyone was stunned.

As the new year approaches, once a large-scale epidemic breaks out in a big city like Shanghai, the consequences will be disastrous.

At the moment, Shanghai City immediately organized manpower and material resources to prepare for the fight against the epidemic.

The Ministry of Health is also actively coordinating various forces to help Shanghai.

But just as official forces were actively organizing the fight against the epidemic, news of the outbreak in Shanghai spread like wildfire and quickly aroused panic among the people.

People these days are very taboo about infectious diseases, and they are often associated with serious infectious diseases such as plague and plague.

People who feel uncomfortable are flocking to the hospital, whether they are infected with hepatitis A virus or not, they want to get tested to make themselves feel at ease.

In an instant, all the hospitals in Shanghai were overcrowded...

It doesn't matter if we don't check. The results of the check are shocking. A considerable number of citizens are indeed infected with hepatitis A virus.

In this way, with the intervention of Zhou Yang and the Ministry of Health, the hepatitis A epidemic broke out in Shanghai ahead of schedule...

........

Because the epidemic broke out so suddenly, most people didn't know what was going on. News of who was infected with the virus was everywhere, which made ordinary citizens in Shanghai feel at a loss for a while.

More importantly, the news of the severe hepatitis A virus in Shanghai quickly spread to all parts of the country. Due to the lack of understanding of the hepatitis A virus, almost everyone became pale when they heard the word "Shanghai".

People in Shanghai have suffered discrimination and exclusion to varying degrees, whether they are on business or traveling. The hotel was unwilling to receive guests from Shanghai, and when the customers heard that they were from Shanghai, they lost interest in doing business.

Even so, even Hucheng's products were ignored, sales plummeted, and everything seemed to be out of control.

Just as the Shanghai city government was struggling, the Minister of Health made a call directly to the office of the top leader in Shanghai, telling him that a medical rescue force from a small northern border town was already on its way to Shanghai.

At the same time, Minister Wang from the Ministry of Health also said that this medical rescue team not only brought a large number of medical staff, but also brought advanced epidemic prevention plans. The Shanghai Municipal Government must receive them seriously and value their opinions.

With Minister Wang's reminder, Shanghai City naturally did not dare to neglect.

When Song Shi, Yang Chunhua, Qiao Weiguo and others arrived in Shanghai with a large number of medical staff and engineering troops, they were directly warmly welcomed by the Shanghai city government.

Song Shi and others lived up to expectations. After understanding the current situation in Shanghai, they directly came up with a complete epidemic prevention plan.

According to the plan proposed by Song Shi and others, on the one hand, all efforts should be made to treat patients who have become ill, and on the other hand, we must find the source of the virus and stabilize people's hearts.

For patients, Song Shi and others put forward three requirements based on the training content given to them by Zhou Yang.

The first is to isolate patients, strictly abide by the personal hygiene system, disinfect and manage the feces and contact objects of hepatitis A patients, and isolate the source of infection.

Secondly, pay attention to food hygiene, wash hands before meals and after using the toilet, wash fruits and vegetables, eat more cooked food, and eat less or no raw food.

The last step is to protect environmental sanitation, do not litter, strictly manage excretion of waste, protect water resources from pollution, and drink boiled or disinfected water to cut off the transmission route.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Song Shi and others directly came up with a plan to build a temporary epidemic prevention hospital. They suggested building a temporary hospital on the outskirts of Shanghai and centrally treating patients with hepatitis A.

In view of the fact that Song Shi and others had experience in preventing and treating hemorrhagic fever epidemics, and that it was personally recommended by the Minister of Health, Shanghai City was quite willing to follow the good advice. It seriously considered all the suggestions put forward by Song Shi and others and fully supported them.

With the issuance of order after measure, Shanghai's epidemic prevention machine quickly started operating.

At the same time, Yang Chunhua led the virus team of the Medical Research Center and began to trace the source of the hepatitis A virus infection.

Since Zhou Yang had warned them before arriving, Yang Chunhua and others quickly identified the culprit of the hepatitis A epidemic, the clam.

Immediately afterwards, after the Shanghai City authorities determined that the source of the hepatitis A epidemic was the clam, they immediately took follow-up actions.

First, the sale of clams was banned across the city. At the same time, vigorous science popularization was carried out across the city to inform citizens that the source of hepatitis A was the clams. As long as you don't eat hairy clams, you won't get hepatitis A easily.

In addition, the city government also called on the general public to go out less, gather less, reduce contact, and reduce the chance of infection.

Thanks to the vigorous publicity of the city government, many living habits of Shanghai residents have now been changed. When friends meet, they do not shake hands but instead bow to each other. Friends who smoke do not smoke each other. When eating, the bowls and chopsticks must be boiled in boiling water. Will be used.

More importantly, city government leaders took to the streets in person to clean the streets together with citizens to quickly cut off the chain of virus transmission in society.

But even so, when the small peak of the hepatitis A virus outbreak came on January 1, more than 10 patients were admitted to major hospitals in Shanghai that day, and the total number of patients admitted in the city reached 4 .

At present, there are only 5 hospital beds in Hucheng, and the medical system of Hucheng has been greatly tested.

But just when Shanghai was feeling the pressure again, good news came from the suburbs. The temporary epidemic prevention hospital was built and ready for use at any time.

Then the leaders of the Shanghai City Government went to the suburbs to check it out in person. When they saw the simple hospital in front of them, which was built with military tents and had a complete drainage system, they were all shocked.

They never expected that this engineering team sent from a small northern border town would complete such a huge project in such a short period of time.

In just a few days, nearly 2,000 hospital beds were added to the city of Shanghai, which is simply a miracle.

After the expert team made an assessment, it was immediately decided to concentrate all the seriously ill patients here for treatment. At the same time, the municipal government came forward to request the engineering team from the north of Saibei to go to the northern suburbs to build another such temporary hospital.

With the discovery of the culprit of the hepatitis A virus and the putting into use of temporary epidemic prevention hospitals, Shanghai's epidemic prevention has entered a new stage...
