    In the past ten years, no new endemic cretinosis patients have been found in China, iodine deficiency disease has reached a continuous elimination state, there are basically no new cases of osteoarthritis in China, and the number of soil-derived nematodes and foodborne parasitic infections has decreased significantly.
    .
    .
    The National Health Commission held a press conference on the 16th to introduce the positive progress
    made in the prevention and control of endemic diseases in China since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
     
    The effectiveness of endemic disease prevention and control has made historic breakthroughs
     
    The Healthy China Action (2019-2030) includes the prevention and control of infectious diseases and endemic diseases as one of the 15 actions, and clarifies that "endemic diseases and other issues cannot be ignored"
    .
     
    "China was once a country
    that was seriously harmed by endemic diseases.
    " Xiong Huang, a first-level inspector of the Comprehensive Department of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has closely integrated the prevention and control of endemic diseases with the strategy of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, adhered to the strategies of prevention and control, combination of prevention and control, classification guidance, and provincial promotion, and created Chinese wisdom and programs for
    developing countries to effectively control and eliminate the harm of key endemic diseases.
     
    According to the data released by the National Health Commission, China has achieved the phased goal
    of controlling and eliminating key endemic diseases.
    By the end of 2021, 2,799 iodine deficiency counties, 379 large osteoarthritic disease areas, 330 Keshan disease areas, 171 coal-polluted fluorotoxicity areas, 12 coal-polluted arsenic poisoning areas, 122 drinking water arsenic poisoning areas or high arsenic districts and counties have all met the control or elimination standards
    .
     
    Monitoring and early warning is an important premise and foundation for the prevention and treatment of endemic
    diseases.
    Xiong Huang said that at present, China has built a monitoring network
    covering all wards and counties in the country.
    2562 county-level laboratories across the country can carry out urine iodine testing, 1523 counties have the ability of thyroid B ultrasound examination, and the laboratory testing and medical examination capabilities of various endemic diseases have been continuously improved, providing a scientific decision-making basis
    for timely formulation and adjustment of disease prevention and control measures.
     
    Increase the inclination of key endemic disease prevention and control fund policies
     
    In recent years, the results of the prevention and treatment of endemic diseases in China are inseparable from the continuous focus on prevention and control and the increase in funds and policies for the prevention and treatment of
    key endemic diseases.
     
    In the past, many provinces in western China were plagued
    by iodine deficiency diseases.
    In the past ten years, the condition of iodine deficiency in China has reached a state of
    continuous elimination.
    Sun Dianjun, chairman of the National Advisory Committee of Experts on the Prevention and Control of Endemic Diseases, analyzed that the reason is that China insists on promoting measures
    for scientific iodine supplementation according to local conditions.
    China has invested more than 60 million yuan to provide iodized salt free of charge to people in areas with severe iodine deficiency diseases, or to provide iodine oil pills
    for women of childbearing age.
     
    In the past, parasitic diseases seriously endangered the health of the masses and brought a heavy burden
    to patients.
    By the end of 2021, of the 451 counties (cities, districts) where schistosomiasis is endemic across the country, 439 have reached the standard of transmission interruption or elimination, and the epidemic of echinococcosis has been basically controlled in China, and the number of soil-derived nematodes and foodborne parasitic infections has decreased
    significantly.
    Zhou Xiaonong, director of the Institute of Parasitic Disease Prevention and Control of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the results of parasitic disease prevention and control are not easy to come by, and the process
    of parasitic disease control and elimination should be accelerated.
     
    Macroosteoarthritis mainly affects children and is a long-term problem for patients
    .
    The investigation shows that there are basically no new cases
    of osteoarthritis in China.
    Lin Jianhao, chief physician of Peking University People's Hospital, introduced that this is a gratifying achievement
    in the cause of public health.
    More than a dozen designated hospitals for the treatment of major osteoarthritic diseases have been set up in Tibet, which have basically realized the localization of rescue and treatment work, the standardization of organizational processes, and the standardization of
    clinical operations.
     
    Prevention and control measures focus on long-term consolidation and maintenance
     
    In the past decade, China has made remarkable progress in the prevention and treatment of endemic diseases, but risks and challenges still exist
    .
    As a biogeochemical disease, once the prevention and control measures are weakened or withdrawn, the disease will make a comeback again, so it must be consolidated for a long time and the prevention and control measures must be maintained in order to truly play the role of
    disease prevention.
     
    In 2021, the World Health Organization announced that our country has eliminated malaria
    .
    Zhou Xiaonong said that China still faces the risk of
    retransmission caused by imported malaria cases.
    In this regard, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention recently issued the "Notice on Further Preventing the Importation and Retransmission of Malaria", strengthening the prediction and early warning of malaria and other parasitic diseases, and continuously consolidating the results of
    malaria elimination.
     
    According to experts, at present, China is still facing some difficulties in the treatment and management of patients with endemic diseases such as iodine deficiency diseases, waterborne high-iodine goiter, drinking water fluorosis, tea-drinking fluoride disease, etc.
    , and it is necessary to continue to increase the implementation of
    prevention and control measures.
     
    Among them, in order to implement the prevention and control measures of endemic drinking water fluorosis, China has combined
    the rural safe drinking water project with the water improvement project in endemic disease areas.
    During the three-year period of the special project for the prevention and control of endemic diseases, 16,231 new water improvement projects were built in various places, 51,725 water improvement projects were consolidated and upgraded, and the water change rate in drinking water fluorosis areas nationwide reached 98.
    3%.

     
    Xiong Huang introduced that in the next step, we will break through the difficulties and bottlenecks in the prevention and control of endemic diseases from the aspects of improving the long-term mechanism of prevention and control, focusing on the key and difficult points of prevention and control, strengthening monitoring and early warning, increasing science popularization and education, and enhancing the awareness of disease prevention, and further consolidate the effect
    of endemic disease prevention and control.
