医防协作:巩固消除疟疾成果的重要保障

Collaboration between clinical and public health services:an important guarantee for consolidating malaria elimination achievements

我国消除疟疾后依然面临输入性疟疾病例量大面广、患者及时就诊意识不高、医疗机构诊治能力和疾病预防控制机构监测响应能力不足等挑战。医疗卫生和疾病预防控制机构作为防止疟疾输入再传播的核心技术机构,有必要进一步加强医防协作、不断完善疟疾诊断和质量管理体系、加强病例发现与流行病学调查、完善抗疟药物储备管理机制,让医务人员成为疟疾预防科普的主力军,以提升人群健康素养,整体提升输入性疟疾病例及时发现、规范治疗、有效处置等能力,持续巩固我国消除疟疾成果。

There are still multiple challenges in China during the malaria post-elimination phase,including a large number of imported malaria cases with widespread distribution,low awareness of timely healthcare seeking,insufficient malaria diagnosis and treatment capacity of medical institutions and insufficient malaria surveillance and response capability of disease control and prevention institutions.As the core technical institutions for preventing the re-establishment of malaria transmission,both medical institutions and disease control and prevention institutions are required to enhance the collaboration between clinical and public health services,improve the malaria diagnosis and quality management system,intensify case identification and epidemio-logical investigations,and improve the management mechanism of antimalarial drug reserves.In addition,doctors are encouraged to become the main force in the health education and promotion of malaria prevention to improve the public health literacy.These approaches are recommended to improve the overall capability of timely identification,standardized treatment and effective response of imported malaria cases,so as to continuously consolidate the malaria elimination achievements in China.
