National Health and Medical Commission: Emergency and critically ill patients shall not be refused or prevaricated for any reason

With the implementation of the “Twenty Articles” and the “New Ten Articles”, the National Health Commission and Beijing’s recent press conference on the epidemic have turned their content to guiding medication and treating patients. At present, many cities are already ushering in a wave of infection peaks. According to the feedback from some patients, outpatient doctors in many hospitals are unable to make outpatient visits due to infection, and some operations have been postponed. The situation is not optimistic.

In the era of “dynamic clearing”, some hospitals refused to diagnose patients because they did not have nucleic acid within the specified period, and even caused the death of patients, which aroused heated discussions in the society. The Health and Medical Commission’s re-emphasis on this issue is also to avoid problems similar to dogmatism in the implementation process. In addition, many nucleic acid monitoring sites in various places have been withdrawn, and the problem of “one out of ten mixed” positives is also very serious. Even if the masses do nucleic acid tests, the results may not come out, so this emphasis can be said to be at the right time.
