Guangming daily, Apr. 21, 2018

Rural medical and health work is not only related to the health and life of the masses, and relations to improve productivity in the countryside, the revitalization of the rural economy, maintaining social stability, has a pivotal role to build a well-off society in an all-round way. How to cultivate rural doctors and improve the medical level of rural doctors is an urgent task to be solved.

Traditional Chinese medicine, as a medical system with Chinese characteristics and unique curative effect, has been tested for thousands of years, and it can be used in primary medical service. Traditional Chinese medicine is easy to grasp, easy to promote, and can benefit rural patients. Overall concept, syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of chronic diseases, aging and health care has outstanding advantages, the idea of "cure not ill" and basic health services for prevention of ideology.

According to the 2017 national economic and social development statistics bulletin, China still has 576 million rural residents. The number of rural doctors is far from enough to meet the medical needs of the rural population. The rural doctors who account for 11% of the total number of health workers need to serve the rural population with a total population of 41.48%. The education level of primary health technicians is mostly low, and most of them are concentrated in the countryside, and their education and medical skills need to be improved. At the grassroots level, the quality of practitioners is low, the talent is short and the loss is serious, and the service position of traditional Chinese medicine is getting smaller and smaller. Inadequate investment, inadequate management system, special funds for fiscal medicine at all levels or the overall input of TCM enterprises are seriously inadequate.

As the main force of Chinese medicine, the national institutes of traditional Chinese medicine can make good use of this advantageous resource, and it is necessary to cultivate rural doctors and improve the level of rural doctors.

The author suggested Chinese medicine as the core, play to the characteristics of TCM, relying on the higher colleges and universities of Chinese medicine resources, and in the villages and towns as the center set up a "country doctor of traditional Chinese medicine center", the training of contemporary "barefoot doctors", radiation area of medical services. Establish with distinct regional characteristics and with the unification of the standard rural medical services of traditional Chinese medicine, create harmony "medical, teaching assistant, help medicine" in the integration of promote the village doctor degree and medical service ability promotion "three helps" model.

Can under the central government and local financial support, select a certain number of towns across the country "country the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine center" as a pilot, combined with the actual building around the "country the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine center" standards and specifications, and then replicated across the country, the promotion and application.

Specifically, "village center" of traditional Chinese medicine of traditional Chinese medicine health service as the core, combining Chinese and western combined, ease of rural medical care, expensive "problem, reduce the pressure of rural residents medical expenses, finally realizes the livelihood of the people out of the purpose of primary medical treatment. The setting standard, standard service and rules and regulations of "village TCM center" should be unified, and a set of effective operation methods can be summarized to facilitate replication and promotion. In this way, we will establish a national health guarantee system and long-term support mechanism for the national conditions, and guide the rural Chinese medicine industry to follow its own laws and develop healthily and sustainably. "Country the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine center shall establish a good policy environment of talent training, improve the personnel training mechanism, to further broaden the talents of traditional Chinese medicine and use of space and the way, step by step to explore a set of basic TCM personnel training plan. According to the seasonal and regional characteristics, we regularly summarize the treatment methods and means of "simple and simple", and teach them to the practitioners of basic Chinese medicine.

In addition, it is necessary to create a "three-way" model for improving the education and medical service capacity of rural doctors with the integration of "help doctors, teaching assistants and drugs". To implement the plan of "assisting doctors" with appropriate technical training of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners to the basic level diagnosis and treatment, training of elderly Chinese doctors, training of grass-roots health management personnel, social practice, etc. With the training of basic medical knowledge and professional skills, I will continue to implement the "teaching assistant" plan of education, traditional Chinese medicine, education, remote education, etc. We will carry out the "help medicine" plan with Chinese medicine cultivation and preparation training, and guiding the construction of standardized Chinese pharmacies.
