Full Recovery Of Medical Safety Issues As “prevention”

A material display, Zhejiang has 200 children in a kindergarten there the phenomenon of abdominal lymph nodes.

Just be exposed the Acanthopanax injection to cause death, followed by anesthesia in a hospital in Fujian Province took place, “Ma” death and several incidents; the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University for nosocomial infections caused by eight neonatal death row Event has just concluded, and now 200 “lymph child” has a collective “stage.”

The moment, there are thousands of “Stone Baby” did not discharge.

Recently be described as one trouble following another.

Objectively speaking, we do not have enough evidence to come to public health and safety incidents are more conclusive than before?? In fact, from all over the world to see, such issues have always been impressive, due to lack of information developed before or , or for information not transparent in many cases not known to the public. It should be recognized, high-speed development, we really are experiencing a high rate of public health safety frequently stage.

Sense, in social transformation, public health and safety incidents associated with certain properties. Imagine living in a blind worship of diffuse large GDP, “site” on the scene in full swing under the colors and pollution everywhere in the sharp decline in environmental quality, unless King, body, how can do it vulnerable to the attack?

From 5 years ago, “SARS” Start, health and safety incidents in recent years experienced, people can see the media an open, transparent reporting, see the Government brainer positive “response.” In this sense, the public informed of significant information in a timely, accurate, comprehensive, government departments, the emergency response of fast, efficient, can be said to the best period in history. Although these are not sufficient to eradicate hidden dangers, but expressed the government’s attitude and determination.

But no matter how good the response afterwards, some consequences are irreversible?? Mortality in the “stone” and “infected” children never grow up opportunities, died of Acanthopanax and anesthesia in patients can no longer wake up … … a heavy price in human lives to remind us that public health and safety incidents to curb the momentum of frequent, only emergency response is not enough; the work forward, firmly grasp the “prevention first” and hold the accident nipped in the bud, so no chance from the “likely” to “facts”, this is really solve the problem.

If the change concept of development, management and repair the environment, thereby reducing the food, pharmaceutical exogenous pollution, but also a very long time; then to strengthen routine health, medical supervision and law enforcement, especially against such as kindergartens, schools the hospital that some of concentrated population, prone to place health and safety incidents to increase law enforcement efforts to increase the frequency of law enforcement, it is realistic and necessary choice.

Admittedly, this operation would be difficult to be sure, at least faced the practical challenges of increased workload, the scheduling of resources will also inevitably need to make the layout again. But of greatest difficulty is not slack off even for a moment, because we can no longer try to life “poison” and rely on life alarm. If only because of the difficulties and dread not the former, then later even if there is another positive “remedial” actions, are able to escape suspicion “show” the questions and accusations.
