Increase the production and supply of antigen detection reagents, oximeters, etc

 

"We are also concerned about the recent shortage of medical supplies such as antigen test reagents in some areas, and everyone is very concerned about the production supply
.
" He Yaqiong, director of the Department of Consumer Goods Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology coordinated and promoted production enterprises to do everything possible to increase the production capacity of key medical materials, accelerate stable production and increase production, and increase the production and supply
of key medical materials such as antigen detection reagents, vaccines, masks, and oximeters.

 

He Yaqiong said that at present, the State Food and Drug Administration has approved 49 new coronavirus antigen detection reagent products, and the company's daily production capacity has expanded from 60 million in early December to 110 million, an increase of 83%.

.
Coronavirus vaccines are in abundant
supply.

 

He Yaqiong pointed out that recently, in response to the rise in demand for N95 masks, we have further strengthened the production scheduling of N95 masks, accelerated the release of production capacity by enterprises, and the scope of dispatching enterprises has expanded from 50 in early December to more than 500, with a daily production capacity of more than 190 million
.
N95 masks can ensure sufficient supply
.

 

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the competent departments and production enterprises of industry and information technology in Beijing, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shenzhen and other places to increase the production and supply of finger clip pulse oximeters, and the daily output increased from 115,000 in early December to more than
250,000.
We will continue to help companies expand their production capacity and accelerate their ability to meet market demand
.

 

Make every effort to ensure the people's demand for purchasing and delivering medicines

 

Wang Xiuchun, deputy director of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport, pointed out that at present, the national railways and ports have maintained stable operation, the volume of civil shipping has grown steadily, the national highway epidemic prevention checkpoints have been completely removed, the national closure and closure of highway service areas, toll stations and express distribution centers have all been cleared to zero, the national transportation and logistics network is generally smooth, the key logistics hubs are running smoothly, the main logistics operation indicators are stable and improving, the transportation of various key materials is safe and orderly, and the national transportation and logistics operation is generally smooth and orderly
.

 

In the current critical period of China's epidemic prevention and control entering the peak transition period, the people's demand for epidemic-related drugs, antigen detection reagents, masks, vaccines and other medical supplies has increased significantly, the Ministry of Transport, together with relevant departments and effectively perform the duties of the traffic control and transportation guarantee special class of the comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, take the transportation guarantee of medical materials as a key supervision item, strengthen overall planning, do a good job in tracking and scheduling, go all out to do a good job in the transportation of medical materials, and make every effort to ensure the people's demand for medicine purchase and delivery
。

 

Wang Xiuchun said that in response to the problem of poor terminal distribution caused by the shortage of front-line couriers in some cities, key provinces and cities and key logistics enterprises will be deployed, the overall allocation of manpower will be strengthened, the shortage of personnel will be replenished in a timely manner, and the rapid sealing and solution of business outlets will be promoted, and efforts will be made to open up the express blocking points, and give priority to the delivery of medicine, prevention and control materials backlog of express shipments

adjustment of prevention and control measures 。 Especially according to the needs of national epidemic prevention and control, urge all localities to give full play to the role of large-scale backbone logistics and transportation enterprises, strengthen regional manpower allocation, timely supplement the strength of front-line practitioners in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas, ensure the continuous chain of medical material transportation, and ensure that the transportation of medical materials during the Spring Festival is not interrupted
by arranging employee rotation and off-peak vacation.

 

The "Drug Purchase Protection Platform for People Infected with the New Coronavirus" has been launched in 11 provinces and cities

 

In response to the phenomenon of rush to buy and hoard drugs in some areas, and patients' demand for some scarce drugs cannot be met, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Commerce, organized a large-scale e-commerce platform to explore the establishment of a "drug purchase guarantee platform for people infected with the new crown virus"
on the basis of the pilot projects in Tianjin and Shijiazhuang.
At present, the platform has been put into operation in 11 provinces and cities including Beijing, Zhejiang and Hebei, delivering 6.
6 million doses of various drugs, serving nearly 2 million patients, and serving 80%
of the population in rural and remote areas.

 

He Yaqiong said that in accordance with the principle of "highlighting key points and precise delivery", each city selects one platform company to provide services, reduce data crossover, and avoid repeated drug
purchases.
Platform enterprises have opened exclusive channels for online drug purchase, quickly allocated and allocated resources, and flexibly provided online consultation services through patient information identification and real-name authentication, so as to achieve accurate drug delivery and reduce unnecessary hoarding and waste
.

 

In addition, give full play to the advantages of e-commerce platform delivery, encourage platform enterprises to mobilize sufficient distribution forces, adopt unconventional instant delivery mode, optimize delivery procedures, encrypt delivery frequency, accelerate delivery rhythm, and effectively solve the "last mile" problem
.
Relying on big data, cloud computing and other information technologies, improve the efficiency of resource allocation with the help of Internet platforms, timely carry out monitoring analysis and trend research and judgment, improve the fineness of replenishment and preparation, and improve the efficiency
of emergency distribution of drugs.
