Recently, Mob Research Institute released the 2021 Internet Medical Industry Insight Report. According to the report, as the policy of the Internet medical industry has changed from prudence to openness, the policy guarantee system has been continuously improved, which has stabilized the cornerstone of market expansion. The sudden new crown epidemic in 2020 has become an industry accelerator, and the market size is expected to exceed one trillion in 2025.

my country’s Internet medical treatment has a history of 20 years, and it is developing upward amidst twists and turns. Internet medical care leverages the epidemic to increase exposure, cultivate user habits, and press the accelerator key for industry development.

The report pointed out that my country’s high-quality medical resources are insufficient. The number of tertiary hospitals accounts for less than 10%, but they carry over 50% of the medical needs. The utilization rate of beds in tertiary hospitals exceeds 90%, while the utilization rate of beds in primary medical institutions is low. As the health literacy level of Chinese residents increases year by year, more and more people are concerned about their health needs. Faced with the problem of insufficient supply of high-quality medical resources, technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence connecting resources are expected to break the medical dilemma.

With the resonance of the black swan of the epidemic and favorable policies, the Internet medical industry has ushered in a golden growth period. In 2020, there will be frequent large-scale financing events in the Internet medical industry, and capital is generally optimistic. The report predicts that the scale of the Internet medical industry is expected to exceed one trillion yuan in 2025.

From the user survey, the report found that the proportion of Internet medical users in second-tier and above cities has decreased, and the proportion of third-tier cities and below has increased. The proportion of users in Guangdong far exceeds that of other provinces. Among medical e-commerce users, male participation is significantly higher than that of females; among registered consultation users, males and females account for the same proportion, but females have a higher preference. Young and middle-aged people are the main force in medical e-commerce and registered consultations. Young people aged 25-34 prefer online consultations, while middle-aged and elderly people over 45 are more willing to buy medicines online. From the perspective of industry development trends, the report believes that in the short term, the daily life of users during the 2020 Spring Festival will increase significantly, and user satisfaction will be high, which is conducive to the formation of user habits, and the traffic dividend is expected to continue. In the medium term, many pain points in the medical industry are waiting for artificial intelligence to provide new solutions, and AI may become the next prescription. In the long term, smart community medical care will help to form a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment of “first diagnosis at the grassroots level, two-way referral, linkage between upper and lower levels, and separate treatment for emergency and slowness”, and relieve medical pressure

Allegations against rapid test providers Incorrect billing, high material costs

Status: 14.06.2021 6:12 p.m.

The rapid test chain MediCan is said to have, among other things, billed medical services and estimated excessive material costs for the tests. Learned that NDR , WDR and SZ from judicial circles. By M. Grill, A. Henze, J. Lange, G. Mascolo, C. Basl and P. Milling, NDR / WDR The two heads of the MediCan rapid test chain have been in custody for more than a week. The Bochum public prosecutor’s office had issued arrest warrants against the owner Oguzhan C. and his son and managing director Sertac C. because they are said to have accounted for as medical centers, although they lacked the prerequisites for how WDR , NDR and “Süddeutsche Zeitung” learned from judicial circles. In addition, they are said to have charged the federal government for antigen tests at higher prices than they actually cost in purchasing. The public prosecutor’s office is also investigating the suspicion that the company billed a significantly higher number of tests with the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians than were actually carried out in the more than 50 centers. The suspected provisional damage amount is in the low double-digit million range, according to the assessment of the public prosecutor. One of the accused is represented by lawyer Reinhard Peters. As he announced on request, there was “an hour-long interrogation by the public prosecutor’s office” last Friday. Mr. C. Senior sticks: “All the tests that he billed have also been carried out.” Peters had no knowledge of the doctors previously mentioned in the MediCan’s legal notice – “as far as I know, according to the file, they have not yet been questioned”. Overall, Peters said of the allegations: “If there are reclaims here, then that will be reimbursed in full. That is no question at all.” His client did not try to disguise anything either, but made everything very open. “I just think that some things may have been misunderstood here. But I don’t see any intention of fraud behind this at all.”

Doctors who were almost never on site

Had only last week WDR , NDR and SZ reports how easy it makes the test regulation to charge excessive prices for rapid tests to the federal government .

06/04/2021

Until the MediCan case was uncovered, the imprint of the chain’s website also listed three medical professionals as “doctors responsible for carrying out the test and training staff”. Since then, the names of these doctors have disappeared. In principle, citizens’ tests that are carried out in rapid test centers under medical supervision can be charged three euros more per test than normal rapid test centers, whose remuneration is capped at 18 euros per test. All three MediCan doctors mentioned were employed full-time as plastic surgeons in a hospital in Lower Saxony, as the hospital confirmed on request, which did not know anything about the secondary activity of the employees. According to his own information, Dr. W. has been working for MediCan since December, Dr. P. and Dr. A. on the other hand only since April. Your task was to “answer telephone queries from the on-site staff,” as the clinic announced on behalf of the doctors. Dr. W. also carried out on-site staff training. He also checked on site every one to two weeks whether the hygiene regulations were being adhered to. “Messrs. Dr. P. and A. were never on site,” the clinic announced on request.

In future there will be no more differentiation in billing

It is not entirely clear whether and when test centers are allowed to charge the higher medical price for rapid tests. While the North Rhine Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians emphasizes that “a doctor must be physically on site” and the KV Berlin also states that a licensed physician “must be constantly present”, Roland Stahl, spokesman for the Federal Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, announces that the doctor will Smear sampling could be delegated, but had to be “mostly on site”.

The Ministry of Health, in turn, takes the position that a rapid test center can only bill as a medical service provider if “the medical management is closely involved in the care and organizational structures”. It is “not absolutely necessary that the doctor is permanently physically present”. “At the same time, however, it is not sufficient if a test site is formally under medical supervision, for example because it is run by a higher-level company under medical supervision,” writes the department. Before the case became known, 54 test centers nationwide were listed on MediCan’s website, Oguzhan C. himself said that the company had 102 locations. It is noticeable that not only MediCan, but also many test providers advertise the names of doctors on their websites. It is unclear who also bills the higher rate as a medical service provider, especially since the statutory health insurance associations do not answer any questions about individual providers. The sums they pay out are ultimately taxpayers’ money.

There is also a security gap in MediCan

The Federal Ministry of Health wants to end this confusion with the new test regulation. In the future there should no longer be a difference between “the remuneration of medical and non-medical service providers”. In the future, both should only get eight euros for the test and a flat rate for the test material. Some test site operators such as Hamburg’s top dog Moritz Fürste are already complaining that they will then no longer be able to work profitably and will have to close their centers. On the LinkedIn platform, Fürste writes: “If I were to reduce it to eight euros, I would have no choice but to close everything.”

At Medican there is also the fact that the company apparently also had data security problems. The full names, date of birth, email address and registration date of the customers could therefore be viewed with little effort. This emerges from a report by the IT security collective “Zerforschung” to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the WDR , NDR and SZ is available. Accordingly, booking codes from customers were only available with the seven-digit time stamp of the registration. This made it possible to see the personal data of customers from May: “In short samples, more than 15 percent of the attempts were successful,” the report says. It was no longer possible to determine whether test results could also be viewed. MediCan’s lawyer confirmed that there was a data gap in the booking confirmations. The server is now offline. MediCan’s test centers no longer exist.

Daily economic news

The pandemic “tsunami” of the past months hit and nearly collapsed India’s public health system on a large scale, in the period from mid-April to early June. In this context, thanks to careful preparation and sound resource investment strategy, southern Indian states like Tamil Nadu suffered less severe damage than other regions, according to the report. Financial Times . Prepare early for the bad scenario Jacob John, a doctor at a medical school in the city of Vellore, said the number of patients treated at the hospital where he worked at one time reached “uncontrollable thresholds”. At that time, the hospital’s 900 beds were filled, causing the facility to refuse to accept more patients and nearly drain its reserve of breathing air for treatment. But when a catastrophic second wave of disease hit Tamil Nadu and other southern states, places like Vellore were able to withstand the worst Covid-19 tragedy. The ability of these states to fight the epidemic is largely due to the planned and effective investment in the public health care system in the southern states. A woman has her blood pressure checked before getting a Covid-19 vaccine in Tamil Nadu, India. Photo: PTI. Experts say that in many other parts of India, the lack of investment and reconstruction for the public health system was exposed when the Covid-19 tsunami swept through. Tamil Nadu is recording about 22,000 coronavirus cases and nearly 500 deaths every day. Under that pressure, Tamil Nadu officials still managed to push back the wave of the epidemic. “The current situation is very difficult. We do not have enough intensive care beds and are forced to refuse to accept many patients,” said Dr. John. “I’m not saying we’re perfect, but when the wave is over, I’m sure the investments in the public health system will save lives.” Before the second Covid-19 storm made landfall, healthcare systems in many other parts of the country, including the capital New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, were nearly completely collapsed. whole. Many patients die from lack of oxygen while the crematorium is overloaded, causing some families to choose to let their bodies float in the river. New Delhi fell before the pandemic, the number of deaths increased sharply, overloading the crematoriums. Photo: Reuters. Although the southern states of India have also “tasteed” the Covid-19 tragedy, experts say that these localities are resilient to cope with the recent outbreak of the disease. “Thanks to a well-developed healthcare infrastructure, the situation in the southern states is not as shocking as in many other places,” said Ratan Jalan, founder of Medium Healthcare Consulting. India’s southern states account for about 250 million of the country’s nearly 1.4 billion population. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are leaders in healthcare, with indicators such as infant mortality rates consistently low. Except for the state of Karnataka, other parts of South India have abundant medical supplies and many medical colleges. The Sustainable Development Report released by the United Nations and government think tanks in early June also ranks the southern states as having the best public health care systems in India. Authorities in these states also issued a blockade order in May. The strategy helped reduce the number of new Covid-19 cases, temporarily controlling the spread of the pathogen. However, Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka and India’s tech hub, still has a higher number of SARS-CoV-2 infections than other major cities. According to Ravi Mehta, an emergency worker at Apollo Hospital in Bangalore, when the hospital set up a new treatment ward at the end of April, all 30 beds were empty in just 90 minutes. When the treatment area was replenished with 70 beds, it was completely empty in less than 3 hours. Although the pressure has now eased, the hospital’s intensive care unit is still full, and is now used to treat patients with serious complications. Resource disparity States like Maharashtra in western India are also highly rated for their ability to respond to the Covid-19 “tsunami”. However, no state in the west really fights the epidemic as effectively as in the south, according to Financial Times . Kerala, where India’s first Covid-19 case was detected in 2020, is a rare state in the west with many bright spots in disease response. During the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, Kerala health officials controlled the spread of the disease and brought the number of corona virus infections to zero in a few days in May 2020. The number of Covid-19 cases in Kerala increased to more than 40,000 cases per day in May, but quickly dropped to the threshold of 20,000 cases per day, according to the report. Financial Times . Experts say the authorities of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have tackled the crisis by building networks of healthcare workers to help sick people find treatment. They have also created strategic systems to distribute resources such as oxygen and oxygen tanks, preventing severe shortages. The high number of infections in the southern states of India and at the same time reflect widespread testing, provide a full picture of the epidemic situation.

On the other hand, the fact that the southern states better control the epidemic also exposes the inequality between rich and poor in the world’s No. 2 epidemic center. In May, at least 20 patients at a hospital in rural Karnataka died from lack of oxygen. In Goa, the southern tourist hub, many patients died from inadequate breathing air. PV Ramesh, a doctor and former senior civil servant in Andhra Pradesh, a state in southeastern India, said the Covid-19 crisis will force the whole country to acknowledge the failure of the medical system. public economy of this country. “This outbreak is still seen as an oxygen supply crisis rather than a management crisis (by health officials), Mr. Ramesh said. “As the wave of disease subsides, people will return to normalcy,” Ramesh said. went back to business as usual and didn’t learn any lessons.” Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

The Covid-19 rapid test machine is located at Becamex International Hospital, My Phuoc General Hospital, Tan Uyen Town Medical Center to support and increase testing capacity to screen suspected cases. Becamex IDC Corporation signed a contract to support the Covid-19 epidemic prevention fund for Binh Duong province. Earlier, during the launching ceremony of the peak donation campaign to support the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic called by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Duong province, Becamex IDC Corporation donated an amount of VND 25 billion. This money has been used to support epidemic prevention, especially in hot spots and isolation areas in the province. The leader of Binh Duong province said that this epidemic is more complicated and likely to last, so the support of individuals, units and businesses is needed to carry out epidemic prevention work. After launching, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province received nearly 90 billion VND in cash and medical supplies. The province is committed to fully synthesizing donations, making them public and transparent, and using them for the right purposes and achieving practical results. Recently, a number of businesses in Binh Duong had workers infected with Covid-19. To reduce the risk of spreading the disease among workers, for businesses with high risk of infection, the Binh Duong Health Sector will organize screening tests (can use the form of a pool of 10 people/sample). ; at the same time, calling on businesses and the province to vaccinate all workers with Covid-19 vaccine.

EU authority More Piracy in the pandemic

As of: June 8th, 2021 9:10 a.m.

Counterfeit clothing, electronics, cosmetics: According to the EU, product piracy has increased during the pandemic. Recently, counterfeits have been causing problems, especially in the medical field. From Oliver Neuroth, ARD studio Madrid The pandemic has created a huge new market, says Paul Maier, director of the European Observatory on Intellectual Property Infringements. The market for personal corona protective equipment: masks, rapid tests, disinfectants. “We were in a situation in which the industry was not immediately able to create these products in the volume that was necessary for the market. The counterfeiters are incredibly fast.” Just a few days after the lack of good protective masks became apparent last spring, there were tons of offers from China. However, these products, which at first glance appeared to be suitable, turned out to be unusable shortly afterwards because they did not comply with European guidelines. “These people are not the kind of ‘easy criminals’ who are not very dangerous. They belong to the very worst. That also explains why these people were able to react so quickly and in such an organized manner,” says Maier.

Plagiarism worth 120 billion euros

The most common counterfeits include electronics, clothing, toys and cosmetics. In the past year, plagiarism made up almost seven percent of all imports into the EU; it involves goods worth more than 120 billion euros. A good three quarters of the counterfeits came from China. The pandemic also made it easier for product pirates to use their distribution channels, says Maier from the EU Intellectual Property Office. Online retail has been booming for more than a year, with fewer people shopping in stores. “When you hold a fake in your hand, you usually notice straight away: ‘That can’t be the quality I know!’ You don’t see that on the Internet because the counterfeit sellers use the real photographs, “explains Maier. The original product is shown, but a plagiarism is then sent.

Every third person had doubts about the authenticity of a product

Every third consumer in Europe had, according to one study of the EU Office for Intellectual Property when shopping online, doubts whether it is an original or a fake. One in ten says that they have accidentally bought a plagiarism. The expert of the EU authority recommends consumers to buy online only in “Trusted Shops” if possible. And to check that the website has an “https” address, which is considered more secure than the classic “http” pages. Maier also advises buying drugs only from licensed internet pharmacies and never from other sites. Because the network is full of counterfeit medicines. Ingestion can be dangerous. “There is nothing easier to imitate than a pill. You can squeeze it yourself – what is in it, of course, is important. And no consumer can see that.” Counterfeit drugs either contained no active ingredient at all, an incorrectly dosed or even toxic substance.

“Endless Fight”

Finding out who is responsible for plagiarism is extremely difficult, says the expert. “It’s probably a never-ending fight. But you have to fight it.” The EU wants to take more decisive action against product piracy. A few days ago, the Council of Ministers made the fight against organized crime a priority for the next few years. Above all, it is about Internet crime, which also includes counterfeit products.

People make electronic medical declarations. The National Center for Technology for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has the task of acting as the focal point for coordination and coordination with agencies, organizations and enterprises participating in technical and technology-related support and cooperation to support support for the prevention of COVID-19; design, organize, build, manage, operate, monitor, ensure safety and network security for technology platforms and systems for epidemic prevention and control.

Senior Lieutenant Le Thi Hoa, Medical Officer of Infection Control Department, Traditional Medicine Hospital of the Ministry of Public Security, the creator of the thermal shock jacket said: ‘This shirt is simply designed with a mesh body. three holes, cool material”. Mesh shirts have a relatively cheap cost of only 50,000 VND, so they can be produced in large quantities to serve the frontline health ministries involved in the prevention and control of COVID-19. The highlight of this thermal shock jacket is the dry ice bags weighing 500g wrapped by a layer of insulation foam with a thickness of 1cm to prevent the ice from directly contacting the human skin and placed in a zip bag to prevent water, Fast cooling effect.

“Last March, I flew to Hanoi for work. Before that, I made a medical declaration on the web, but forgot to take a photo. I thought the data would be on the Bluezone app because this app also has a declaration section. , when I went to the airport to open the app, I knew I had to make a medical declaration from the beginning, which took time,” shared Ngoc Mai, an office worker living in Ho Chi Minh City. “On the last election day, I still had to make a medical declaration when I went to the place. I don’t understand why they didn’t let me scan the QR code that I just declared a few days ago,” said Ngoc Phuong, living in Ba Dinh district, Hanoi. said. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that anti-epidemic applications currently use a unified data store. Photo: VGP. Share with Zing , a representative of the Department of Informatization, under the Ministry of Information and Communications affirmed that the database of applications is now interconnected, helping to increase the efficiency of the applications and reduce the cumbersome for people. Why does the application need data communication? Mr. Do Lap Hien, Deputy Director of the Center for E-Government, under the Department of Informatization, explained the inconvenience when applications use independent and unconnected data. “In the past, there were cases where people declared their health on the NCOVI app, then downloaded more Bluezone to protect themselves. When going to a quarantine point, opening the health declaration function on Bluezone, there is no previously declared data. This is really inconvenient. In the opposite direction, the trace group when accessing the information of the Bluezone app, the data in the app is just the phone’s code. They have to find the corresponding information in the NCOVI or VHD database to know who and where the close contact is. This process will reduce the tracking speed,” said Mr. Hien. Anti-epidemic applications all have medical declaration functions. Data warehouse interoperability ensures this functionality works across applications. Photo: Tuan Anh. During the National Online Conference on the situation and urgent solutions to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic on the morning of May 29, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that the current anti-epidemic applications have used a unified data warehouse. . “Once synchronized, only one operation can access all information on the applications, more effective in fighting the epidemic,” Mr. Hien shared. Centrally connected IT applications, linked data. This is an important development step in the application of technology and data. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung According to the representative of the Center, when updating to the latest version, the applications will use the linked data. This is to ensure that the people’s experience is seamless and unaffected. The latest version of Bluezone will be updated on the iOS and Android app stores this week. “For citizens and users, all changes must be ‘transparent’ to them. The application must not change anything about the user experience, only more convenient, “said Mr. Hien. App data will delete itself after a month Despite being propagated about anti-epidemic applications, many users said they encountered difficulties and inconveniences when using. For example, with the Bluezone application, having to constantly turn on the Bluetooth connection makes users worry about consuming the smartphone’s battery. “I installed Bluezone since last year, but sometimes it bothers me because there are too many notifications. Also, I don’t know if the app is effective because now I don’t see the number of people exposed to almost the same amount of time,” Anh Hoang said. , working in Hanoi shared. In addition, the information that people who do not install Bluezone may be fined is also confusing. Reply Zing , a representative of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Health said that the fine or not will depend on local regulations. Bluezone application supports the process of tracing, close contact. Photo: VH. “The regulation clearly states that when going to a public place, it is mandatory to install the Bluezone application and turn on Bluetooth. If it is in a personal space, at home or in a place where there are not many people, it is not necessary. The sanction will depend on the risk or development of the epidemic in the locality. Thus, depending on the local situation, the sanction will be assigned to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities for their own consideration and decision”, said Mr. Nguyen Truong Nam, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade. Health said. Personal data will be deleted after one month of storage so that people can rest assured to comply. Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung In addition, there are also concerns about the security of people’s personal information. Sharing about this issue, a representative of the Center for E-Government said that current data according to regulations will be deleted after 30 days. This number may change depending on the development of the disease and the requirements of the Ministry of Health. “Currently reserved data will be deleted after one month. When deleted, it will be completely deleted and cannot be retrieved, in order to ensure the privacy of users, “said Mr. Hien. Due to anti-epidemic requirements, many units and objects can access anti-epidemic data. However, depending on the scope and needs, these objects will have limited access. Not everyone can access the user’s data and information. In addition, according to the Minister of Information and Communications, wearable isolation monitoring devices will be deployed from June 1, immediately for workers in industrial parks. This bracelet is part of a seamless system, data will also be shared with other applications to ensure isolation. “Currently, the new bracelet solution is being tested at the request of the Ministry of Health. Regardless of the technology application, we will ensure that the data is attached to the application, which is part of the system.” representative of the Center for E-Government said.

Accordingly, museums, zoos, restaurants, shops, religious facilities … are allowed to reopen completely from May 21, while bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues … entertainment, stadiums can reopen from June 11. Wearing a mask is still mandatory in enclosed spaces, except when eating and drinking. More than 225,000 people out of a population of 700,000 in Washington are now fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, in New York state, more than 60% of its nearly 20 million population has received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. To increase immunity, Governor Andrew Cuomo on May 10 announced a pilot program, allowing people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 to ride the subway for free. Specifically, from May 12-16, New Yorkers can get a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine at one of six selected medical facilities. Once vaccinated, they will receive a free metro pass for a week or a suburban rail return ticket. Governor Cuomo said the program, if successful, would be replicated. On the same day, May 10, the US State Department announced that it had lowered its travel advisories to the UK and Israel to level 3 and level 2, respectively, from the highest level of warning level 4. Last month, the Department of State US delivery has put 119 countries, including the UK, Israel, Canada, France, Mexico and Germany, on the alert level 4 list, which recommends not to go to these countries because these are places with a high risk of infection. COVID-19 infection is very high. Currently, about 150 of the 209 destinations on the US State Department’s list are under Level 4 alert.

Medical declaration via Zalo is considered a method of saving time and reducing the risk of infection. People just need to do the declaration steps at home instead of going to a health station, hospital or public place. In particular, people do not need to declare many times. Once completed, residents will receive a QR code confirming that they have declared medical information to provide security and medical staff at the destination or at the disease control checkpoint. Medical declaration feature on Zalo page “Quang Nam Provincial Police”. In Ha Nam province, before large-scale deployment, all officers and soldiers of the provincial police force made electronic medical declarations through Zalo “Ha Nam Provincial Police”. In addition, propaganda is also promoted so that people know and accompany in electronic declaration. Meanwhile, in Hai Duong, since the Covid-19 epidemic re-emerged, the official account “Hai Duong Provincial Police” on Zalo is used to send all tracing notices and search for people related to the Covid-19 cases in the province, supporting people to make medical declarations during the period of social distancing. Hai Duong province continuously implements strict epidemic prevention measures. The rapid implementation of the “Medical declaration” feature on the Zalo page by the provinces in order to proactively and effectively implement the tracing and timely detection of cases at risk of infection and disease, and at the same time contribute to the common sense. hands to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic in the area. For provinces and cities that have not yet implemented the “Medical declaration” feature on the official Zalo page, people can still make a quick and safe declaration on Zalo by searching and paying attention to the Zalo “Prevention of Corona Virus” page. , select the built-in “Medical declaration” and complete the declaration. For locations that require scanning a QR code to declare, people go to the Zalo application and select the QR code icon in the right corner, then complete the required declaration. The online medical declaration feature is Zalo’s attempt to bring technology to the community. Actively declare health to help protect yourself, your family and the community. Previously, the National Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control issued Official Dispatch No. 3751/CV-BCD to ministries and ministerial-level agencies, agencies attached to the Government, People’s Committees of provinces and cities on promoting Electronic medical declaration for Covid-19 prevention and control by QR code and applications.

European Commission (EC) spokesman Christian Wigand said the EU wants all citizens of the 27 EU member states to be able to receive a “digital passport”. This powerful card, also known as a “green certificate” or “digital passport”, certifies that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, has tested negative for the SARS virus. -CoV-2 or have recovered from COVID-19. “To get ready for safe travel next summer, the use of the pass will be ready by the end of June,” Wigand said. With this card, Europeans can easily travel between member states. Another EU spokesman, Johannes Bahrke, said the 18 EU member states and Iceland will conduct a trial of the “digital passport” over the next two weeks to ensure there are no errors when it comes to travel. officially put into use. European tourism will revive thanks to the medical pass hành This digital pass is seen as a tool for countries that depend on tourists to kick-start the summer holidays for Europeans. This is also an “effective tool” that allows countries to revive their economies that have been exhausted by the epidemic. Mutual recognition of “Medical Passes” – the key to the border gate Currently, some countries around the world have also announced that they will apply the same form as the medical pass in the EU, for example Israel has a “green pass”, the UK will have an application from the National Health Service. (NHS) certificate of vaccination. The “Medical Pass” was initially used for intra-regional travel only. However, the European Commission (EC) is working with non-EU countries to jointly recognize each other’s vaccination certificates, especially with the US. So far, there has been no discussion between Brussels and London about the EU’s recognition of the UK’s NHS application. France, Malta and the Netherlands are among the countries that are piloting through EU certification. Countries are discussing to ensure that the digital passport used for authentication in this country is compatible with other countries’ applications or systems. In addition, the pass must be designed to be accessible via a smartphone app, but must also be able to obtain paper authentication. Technology experts said: “All member countries will connect to the system in June, the deadline is mid-June.” The European Commission believes that this Pass will soon come to life as negotiations on this scheme are underway. sea ​​oats ( according to AFP )

Giving certificates to 343 citizens who completed centralized isolation. (Photo: Chanh Da/VNA) On the morning of May 13, Bac Lieu Province’s Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control awarded certificate of completion of medical isolation period for 343 Vietnamese citizens returning from Taiwan, China. This is the 14th quarantine period, also the first time that Bac Lieu province has implemented according to the express dispatch No. 600/CD-BCD dated May 5, 2021 of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control. Previously, on the evening of April 21, two flights with the numbers BL141 and BL1163 brought 343 Vietnamese citizen Returned from Taiwan (China) and landed Can Tho International Airport . The citizens were taken by military vehicles of the Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control of Military Region 9 to a concentrated isolation facility in Student Housing Area, Ward 1, Bac Lieu City, operated by the Military Command. Bac Lieu province in charge. Most of the above-mentioned citizens are workers with expired contracts, elderly people, international students, pregnant women… stuck in Taiwan because airlines have stopped international flights due to international flights. COVID-19 epidemic . Bac Lieu Center for Disease Control took 343 test samples for the third time to send to the Pasteur Institute in Ho Chi Minh City on May 11, and on May 12, the Pasteur Institute announced the results, accordingly, all 343 citizens at the isolation facility are negative for SARS-CoV-2 and are in good health to certify completion of isolation./.

Mr. Ho An Phong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee spoke at the meeting. At the meeting, the representative of ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company introduced 3 technology solutions for centralized medical isolation management and prevention Covid-19 researched by the company. research, application, that is: Management by monitoring internet connection; Manage by installing the app on a smartphone; Manage by safety strap and install the isolation app. In particular, Managing with a safety strap and installing an isolated app is considered by the company to be the most strict and effective. According to the Manage by safety bracelet solution and install the isolation app, the person performing the isolation will be equipped with a bracelet with bluetooth settings, and at the same time install the isolation management app on the operator’s smartphone. isolation and management staff. The manager will receive an alert when the isolated person leaves the management area, or is more than 10m away from the phone; warn when the isolator turns off the phone, or the phone doesn’t connect to the internet, or removes the quarantine app on the phone; warn when the isolator cuts and removes the safety ring. This application’s requirement is that the quarantine person must use a smartphone with an internet connection. This is a new solution, which has not yet been applied in centralized isolation management in Vietnam, but requires quite high costs. Discussing at the meeting, all delegates strongly agreed with the need to apply technology to monitoring and management in Covid-19 isolated, anti-epidemic areas. At the same time, on the basis of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions offered by enterprises, delegates proposed a number of problems, such as: it is possible to integrate many solutions into 1 management software to Apply for each isolated case depending on the level, in order to suit the cost and management conditions when mass deployment. Before mass application, it is recommended to pilot in a number of areas, locations and scope to evaluate the effectiveness in practice. Participants heard about technology solutions for centralized medical isolation management and surveillance for epidemic prevention and control Covid-19 Concluding the meeting, Mr. Ho An Phong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Head of the Steering Committee for Prevention and Control of Covid-19 province highly appreciated the solutions proposed by ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company. time affirmed that all three solutions are very practical, can be applied to the centralized isolation monitoring activities against Covid-19 in Quang Binh and bring certain effects. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Department of Information and Communications to coordinate with ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company, CDC Quang Binh to inspect and survey concentrated isolated points and areas in the area. the provincial. After the survey, there is a specific assessment to advise the Provincial People’s Committee and the Steering Committee for the prevention and control of Covid-19 provinces on the best plan when implementing the application of centralized medical isolation management for Covid epidemic prevention and control. -19 according to technology 4.0. The delegates discussed at the meeting. Technology application solutions must aim at: Better and more effective management and supervision in isolated areas; Not only can the quarantine cases be managed, but also officials in the quarantine area; the mentality of the isolator is more active, believes in and feels secure in doing quarantine; has high propaganda among the people.

Yet, in remote rural states, health resources are even scarcer. Some places don’t even have any medical resources to deplete. People can only fight the epidemic on their own and look to their fate. 90 people died in the past month, 3 times the average annual death toll. Dinesh Makwana took his father to four hospitals in nearby towns but could not find a single hospital bed. Photo: CNN. “No medical center, no doctors, no nurses” Chogath is a farming community in western Gujarat state, with about 7,400 inhabitants, according to the last census of 2011. Earlier this week, Mr. Jeetu said CNN that there are about 500 to 600 people with Covid-19 in the village. Residents here have also reported a spike in death toll. There are almost no doctors or medical facilities in the village. Meanwhile, the nearest city is more than an hour’s drive from the village. Some neighboring towns have clinics, but these facilities are very small and run out of beds and other essential medical supplies. The sudden spike in the number of illnesses and deaths in the whole village seemed to rest on Mr. Jeetu’s shoulder. An experienced pharmacist, he is in charge of prescribing medicine and supplying oxygen to the patients in the village. “No one, no medical center, no doctors, no nurses. There aren’t any facilities in this village. So I decided to deal with Covid-19 in a way that I see fit, ”he said. In Chogath, the lack of medical resources forced the desperate villagers to travel to the surrounding towns in the hope of finding a hospital bed. Dinesh Makwana, a resident of Chogath, said he tried to get his father with Covid-19 to four different hospitals in the surrounding towns but was hopeless. There are no more vacancies. With no other choice, he brought his seriously ill father to the village. “We are shocked (because of the 2nd Covi-19 wave). The whole village was very shocked, everyone was scared, ”he said. He said many people in the village died of Covid-19 and said: “I am very scared. I am worried that my father will lose “. Pharmacist Jeetu is the only source of medical assistance in Chogath village, Gujarat. Photo: CNN. Mr. Jeetu did his best to be able to provide some medicines to the villagers, including his father Makwana, to help stabilize the patient’s condition. However, the troubles that hit Makwana’s family do not stop there. His sister and mother are also infected. When Makwana talks to CNN, His mother was breathing hard on the porch. “I take care of my family. If I die, my wife and children will be crushed. I am not afraid of death, but only care for my wife, ”said Makwana’s father, Mr. Jivraj. 90 funerals a month Mr. Girjashankar, a resident of Chogath, despite being 70 years old, still helps families in the village to cremate their deceased loved ones. Day by day, he went to the forest or the field to cut wood, filled them with a tractor and then transported to the village, preparing to cremate the deceased. Normally, about 30 people die each year in the village. But within the past month, they cremated about 90 bodies, according to Mr. Girjashankar. Some families, he said, lost several people immediately because of the virus. Mr. Girjashankar, a cremation assistant, said that only a month ago, the village had 90 deaths, 3 times higher than the average annual death rate. Photo: CNN. The government tried to respond to the Covid-19 crisis in the country. They send oxygen supplies to various states and distribute aid from abroad. However, with the huge demand, the supplies do not seem to be distributed across the country. This means that the vast majority of health resources will go to the most densely affected and populous states. Therefore, small villages like Chogath have to survive this deadly epidemic on their own. “The village received no relief from the government. No doctors. There aren’t any government employees. The needed cannot come, and the person who needs to go (the hospital) cannot go ”, Mr. Girjashankar said. Pharmacist Jeetu said he was “very angry” because the people here are not being supported. “What can I do by myself,” he said. We don’t have any solutions, the people here are very poor ”. “All the people in the village are scared. 15, 20 days now, no one dares to step out of the house. Everyone is afraid, ”Makwana said. India uses the temple as a care center for patients Covid-19 Volunteers in the city of Ahmedabad, in western India, converted a temple into a Covid-19 patient care center, comprising a total of 50 beds.

In the remote Indian village of Chogath, Jeetu, a local pharmacist, has become the only source of medical assistance for people with Covid-19. The second wave of Covid-19 in India has devastated major cities and parts of this country. The hospitals have run out of oxygen and medicine. Jeetu, local pharmacist and volunteer doctor in Chogath village. Photo: CNN But in rural states and remote villages, the workforce of doctors and clinics is even scarcer. The people here have to fight the epidemic on their own without receiving any medical care. Chogath is a farming community in the western state of Gujarat. It is home to about 7,400 people, according to the 2011 census. Earlier this week, Mr. Jeetu said that there were about 500-600 cases of Covid-19 in Chogath village. Villagers also reported a sudden increase in the number of people dying from the disease. However, there were not any doctors or medical staff in the village. Meanwhile, the nearest city is more than an hour’s drive from the village. There are clinics in a number of neighboring towns, but these also run out of beds and other necessary medical equipment. As the number of illnesses and deaths in Chogath village spiked, Mr. Jeetu took on the role of a doctor. With his experience as a pharmacist, Mr. Jeetu prescribes medicine and supplies oxygen to the patients in the village. “No one is here, there is no medical center, no doctors, no nurses. There are no medical facilities in this village. So I settled in the way I saw fit, ”Mr. Jeetu said. India is facing a severe Covid-19 crisis that takes place everywhere, from the capital New Delhi to the smallest villages and towns. The second wave of Covid-19 has made millions of people in India sick in the past month and thousands dying every day. With more than 23 million cases of Covid-19, India is now the second most affected country in the world after the US epidemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In Chogath, the lack of medical resources forced people to travel to surrounding towns in hopes of finding hospital beds. Dinesh Makwana, a resident of the village of Chogath, said he tried to put his father with Covid-19 into four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but there were no vacancies. He had no choice but to bring his father, who had been diagnosed with a serious illness, back home. “All villagers are afraid” “We were shocked by the second wave of Covid-19. The whole village was very shocked, everyone was scared, ”Mr. Makwana said. Makwana says that many people in the village died from Covid-19. “I am very scared. I worry my father will die, ”he said. Makwana tried to send her father with Covid-19 to four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but all had no vacancies. Photo: CNN Jeetu has provided some medicine to help stabilize Makwana’s father. However, the Makwana family’s troubles are not over as his sister and mother are also sick. “I am very worried about my family. If I die my family will be broken. I’m not afraid of death, I’m just worried about my wife, ”said Makwana’s father, Jivraj. Girjashankar, 70, a resident of Chogath, helped families in the village cremate deceased loved ones. He cut wood from the forests and loaded it on tractors and drove it back to the village, preparing for cremation for the deceased. Mr. Girjashankar said that each year about 30 people in Chogath village died, but only in the past month they cremated 90 bodies. The Indian government attempted to cope with the Covid-19 crisis by sending oxygen supplies to various states and distributing aid from abroad. However, the scarcity of medical supplies means most aid will go to the most populous and most affected states. Therefore, small villages like Chogath have to fight the pandemic on their own. “We don’t have doctors. We have no way to get to the bigger hospitals, ”said Girjashankar. Jeetu said he was “very angry” at the fact that people here do not receive medical care and lack of help from the authorities. “What can I do by myself? We don’t have a solution, the people here are very poor, ”said Mr. Jeetu. The villagers of Chogath had no choice but to wait for help. “All the people in the village are scared. It has been 15-20 days no one left the house. Everyone feels scared, ”Makwana said.

Jeetu, local pharmacist and volunteer doctor in Chogath village, Gujarat state, on May 9. Photo: CNN According to CNN (USA), India’s second COVID-19 wave has devastated major cities and urban centers, depleting hospitals of oxygen and medicine. Meanwhile, in rural areas and remote villages, doctors and clinics are even rarer, leaving residents fighting for their own lives without care. Chogath Village is a rural community in the western state of Gujarat, home to about 7,400 residents, according to the latest census in 2011. Earlier this week, pharmacist Jeetu said there were between 500 and 600 schools. with COVID-19, while deaths also spiked. However, there are no doctors or medical facilities in the nearest village and city more than an hour away. There are medical stations in a number of neighboring towns, but these small facilities also have no longer beds and essential supplies. Amid a spike in morbidity and mortality, Mr. Jeetu was forced to take on the role of a volunteer doctor, using his experience as a pharmacist to provide oxygen and prescribe medicine to the people. . “No one here, no medical center, no doctors, no nurses,” he said. “There are no medical facilities in this village. So I have to deal with the situation in the way I find the best fit.” Dinesh Makwana and his father, Mr. Jivraj, from Chogath village in Gujarat state, India, May 9.

The second wave of COVID-19 epidemic has infected millions of people across the country over the past month, with thousands dying every day. As of May 12, India has recorded over 23.3 million cases since the outbreak of the pandemic, being the second most severely affected country in the world, behind only the US, according to University data. Johns Hopkins. In Chogath, the lack of medical assistance forced the desperate villagers to travel to the surrounding towns in the hope of finding a hospital bed. Dinesh Makwana, from Chogath village, said he tried to send his father with COVID-19 to four different hospitals in neighboring towns in the state of Gujarat, but all had no vacancies. With no other choice, Makwana had to bring his father, who had been diagnosed with a serious illness, back to the village. “We were shocked by the second wave.

Makwana’s sister and mother are also infected with the SARS-CoV2 virus. Located on the veranda of the house, Makwana’s mother gasped, next to a picture of Hindu gods hanging high on the wall. “I worry about my family,” said Mr. Jivraj, Makwana’s father. “If I die, my family doesn’t know how I will live. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m worried about my wife.” Mr. Girjashankar, 70, helped the villagers cremate the bodies.

A man was vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine in Guwahati, India on May 8. Photo: CNN Some experts and government committee members think the second wave of infections may be nearing a peak, meaning that daily new infections will soon drop. However, high mortality is predicted to persist throughout the month. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has worked to respond to this crisis by sending oxygen sources to many states and distributing medical supplies from abroad. But supply shortages mean most of the support will be shipped to the most densely populated cities with the highest number of infections, leaving villages like Chogath on their own when SARS-CoV-2 virus. attack of households. “The village doesn’t get government support, there are no doctors, there is no way to go to major hospitals,” said Girjashankar. “No one is looking at this place, there are no government employees to support us.” Jeetu said he was “very angry” because the village lacked help from the authorities. “But what can we do?” He said. “We don’t have a solution, the people here are very poor.” Meanwhile, the villagers have no choice but to wait for help and pray they will recover. “All the villagers are scared. For the past 15 to 20 days, no one comes out of the house. Everyone was very worried,” Makwana said.

With dozens of Covid-19 positive cases being discovered every day, many solutions such as localization, tracing of suspected infected people, vaccination, community immunization, … have been deployed to limit the spread of the disease. However, unlike other pandemics, Covid-19 is showing that this is not just a common pandemic. With many variations and outbreaks, the prevention of Covid-19 is a long battle and requires the participation of the whole society. This fact shows that non-traditional anti-epidemic solutions are needed. Anti-epidemic technology is the most optimal choice today for the society to function normally. People harvest agricultural products in the epidemic heart in Hai Duong. Photo: Trong Dat To meet the urgent requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued the document “Instructions on the use of Covid-19 support solutions to prevent, combat and trace in the community”. Accordingly, in order to combat epidemics with technology, localities need to combine many different solutions. These solutions included the implementation of the installation of Bluezone (the application of warning for close contact with suspected Covid-19) and NCOVI (voluntary medical declaration management system). Localities also need to deploy the system to record people coming and going to public places through QR code scanning and epidemic prevention map system. For places with airports and border gates, these localities need to make electronic medical declaration for people entering. What is the effectiveness of anti-epidemic technology by technology? According to experts, technology solutions such as Bluezone applications can only achieve high efficiency if they are used by more than 60% of the population. Recognition of the developer shows that, as of March 2021, more than 30 million people used Bluezone applications. Considering the actual implementation efficiency, during the 2nd Covid-19 outbreak (July 25, 2020) in Hai Duong, with the proportion of people who installed Bluezone being 27%, 1,035 was identified in this locality. F1, F2. Many recommendations have been made by authorities about people should install Bluezone application to receive warnings in case of contact with suspected Covid-19. Photo: Trong Dat In the second outbreak on January 27, 2021 in Hai Duong, the rate of installing Bluezone applications was 43% of the total population of the province. As a result, the system has traced 1,993 F1 and F2 cases. It is noteworthy that by doing this, the health agency found 17 positive cases outside the list of traditional epidemiological investigations. With the successes and experiences gained in Hai Duong, Bluezone is considered as the most effective measure for effective zoning, helping to maintain the status of an isolated house, the whole society can still operate normally. With NCOVI application, as of February 3, 2021, the number of NCOVI applications installed was 7.8 million. The number of medical declaration records for the entire population is 18 million, the number of updated health monitoring records is 52.95 million, the number of scan records of QR code is 7.25 million. Medical declarations are basic input so that health agencies can keep informed about the health situation of each citizen. The large collection of medical manifest data also makes it possible for authorities to immediately detect a large-scale Covid-19 outbreak. Citizens are encouraged to make electronic medical declarations at least 1 time per day. Recently, Vietnam is using another solution, which is to check in to save epidemiological landmarks with QR codes. With this measure, people need to scan QR codes to check in every time they go to public places. In the event that a person is determined positive for Covid-19, the authorities will base on the history of scanning the QR code of the person to filter out the “epidemiological landmarks” that the patient has joined or went to. for a period of 3 days before onset of illness. Those who have arrived at the “epidemiological milestones” during the time the patient checked in will be listed for the investigator to trace, from which the F1s will be identified. Workers at the aluminum mine in Lam Dong perform check-in by QR code upon arrival at the workplace. According to the representative of Bkav – Bluezone application development unit, the measure of checking in public places helps to quickly track outbreak places such as restaurants and markets. In addition, the regular check-in by QR code on Bluezone also helps to increase the efficiency of contact recognition. Storing “epidemiological landmarks” by QR code, tracing suspected infected persons by Bluezone and medical declaration on NCOVI will form a set of tools to help early detection, effective localization and limit the spread of the epidemic. This is how Make in Vietnam digital technologies creep and solve problems in life.

With the motto “Where to get vaccinated safely to there”, the procedure for vaccination against COVID-19 in Vietnam has been carried out methodically and differs from other countries in the world, including advanced countries. up. Up to 16:00 on May 8, 2021, a total of 832,635 people were vaccinated against COVID-19, phase 1 and 2 in the provinces / cities. COVID-19, health workers perform tasks such as sampling, testing, tracing, members of community COVID-19 groups, Steering Committee for epidemic prevention at all levels, police forces. , army. TS.BS. Pham Quang Thai, Immunization Specialist – Head of the Northern Regional Expansion Immunization Office, said: Currently, Vietnam is one of the leading countries in ensuring the COVID-19 vaccination process. With the motto “Where to get vaccinated safely,” the procedure for vaccination against COVID-19 in Vietnam has been carried out methodically and differs from other countries in the world, including the first countries. up. While in many countries, they organize injections, injections in the community (carry the syringe to each house), inject at mobile sites (people pass by, stop the injection, and then continue), inject in drugstores or supermarket. In Vietnam, ensuring safety of COVID-19 vaccination is always on top priority; strictly comply with each step, step by step at all immunization facilities. The COVID-19 vaccination establishment must have facilities and equipment (with sufficient means to prevent shock), and have a team that is well trained for safe vaccination. These facilities themselves are also regularly supervised, as well as vaccination operators are regularly trained to update new vaccines and safe injection procedures. This is the strength of the vaccination system in Vietnam and has been recognized by the world. In addition, Vietnam is also one of the very few countries that have a national immunization information system that manages each person to be vaccinated. Data from the system helps ensure injection safety

Illustration Ronilza Johnson, 46 years old, a British citizen, has just died in a hospital in the city of Anapolis, Brazil, due to a cheap butt lift plastic surgery. The incident shook the beauty world in general and the beauty industry in particular in England and Brazil. Accordingly, during a trip to Brazil, Ronilza Johnson, introduced by a few friends, decided to do butt lift surgery at a underground facility. After surgery by biomedical scientist Lucas Santana, this man claimed to be able to perform butt lift surgery at a dizzying price. Specifically, only 2,000 pounds (nearly 2,800 USD), with the help of a medical student was able to perform major surgery to upgrade the buttock.

For many consecutive days, the world media has been flooded with heartbreaking information and images from today’s most devastating pandemic hotspot. Many patients in India die while waiting for their beds, oxygen supplies depleted in hospitals leading to tragic deaths beyond imagination. “India experienced its worst day because of Covid-19” became the headline used by many newspapers day in and day out.

India is suffering from the darkest chapter of the pandemic. Bodies were piled up in crematoria. Many cremation facilities operate non-stop, staff here say they get almost no rest. Photo: Reuters. In Hinduism, cremation is traditionally the most important part of funeral rites as these religious believers believe that the body must be cremated in order for the soul to transcend. Photo: Reuters. On April 29, the country recorded 379,257 new cases of Covid-19 and 3,645 people died from the pandemic. To date, the number of Covid-19 cases in India has reached 18.38 million, of which 204,832 died, according to the Ministry of Health of India. In the capital New Delhi, 27 temporary crematoriums were built at the Sarai Kale Khan crematorium. Dozens of other rigs are being added in a nearby park. Officials are also looking for more space near the city’s Yamuna River, according to the Guardian. Trees in the park were cut down to make a pyre. Photo: Reuters. Experts fear the actual number of cases in India could be up to 30 times higher, which is more than half a billion cases, according to CNN. The country’s daily death toll is expected to continue to rise through mid-May, according to predictive models from the University of Washington Medical Metrology and Evaluation Institute in the United States. The death toll could reach more than 13,000 a day, more than four times the current daily death toll, according to projections. Photo: Reuters.

Crowds of people also play a huge role in the spread of the virus in India. Blockade and quarantine restrictions are believed to have been lifted too soon in the world’s second most populous country. Residents are allowed to organize major parades. Hindu festivals attract tens of millions of pilgrims. These people often gather in cramped locations without protection.

The 105-year-old man ‘defeated’ Covid-19 in India Dhenu Umaji Chavan (105) and his wife (95) contracted Covid-19 in March. Both were discharged earlier this month after being treated at a hospital in Maharashtra state.

Last week, India’s Health Minister Harsh Vardhan affirmed that the Covid-19 death rate in this country is “at the lowest in the world”. The statement of the head of the medical industry is in stark contrast to the series of shocking images and stories of cremations burned day and night due to overloaded bodies, patients dying on the road due to lack of breathing. gas, according Guardian . Question of concealing data of the dead? Official records of the Indian authorities show that the number of people infected and fatal has increased continuously. On May 1, the South Asian country experienced another record-breaking day with 401,993 new cases and 3,523 deaths from Covid-19. But health experts have the same view that the official number does not fully reflect the size of the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 in India. At this time, because medical facilities are overloaded and lack medical supplies, many patients cannot be hospitalized and die at home, even without adequate testing. Meanwhile, the local authorities were accused of not making accurate statistics, even hiding the actual death toll in the area where they were responsible. Relatives stand by when the dead body is cremated. Photo: Reuters. In the past month, in the city of Karnataka, Bangalore – where the number of infections has been among the fastest growing in the country – the number of corpses registered for cremation with Covid-19 is twice as high as the number of deaths recorded by the authorities. The information concealment charge is particularly notable in Uttar Pradesh, where the state government is governed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party. Adityanath, governor of Uttar Pradesh, insisted that the state had no shortage of oxygen, and threatened to prosecute anyone who spread panic information. Authorities Uttar Pradesh denied allegations of information hiding. The truss burned day and night In the Muzaffarnagar city of Uttar Pradesh state, data are available from the weekly newspaper Observer The collection revealed the discrepancy between the local authorities’ death statistics and the number of bodies cremated at city cremation facilities and cemeteries. Official data recorded only 10 deaths from Covid-19 in the last four days of April. But according to Ajay Kumar Agarwal, owner of a city cremation facility, that is only an odd number compared to the bodies burned. burned at this facility every day. “Normally we cremate 3 bodies per day. But in the past 10 days, the number of cremated bodies has increased many times. There are days 18, some days 20, then 22 and 25. In the past 10 days, not yet.” we have less than 12 bodies every day, 90% of which are corona deaths, “said Agarwal. Mr. Agarwal’s cremation facility only had seven crematoriums, so the staff had to cremate the body on the ground. Some of the bodies were sent to another facility 35 kilometers from the city. The pyre burned day and night in India. Photo: Reuters. Mr. Agarwal accused local authorities of publishing “inaccurate” data, denying the possibility that the city has experienced no days, or that only one or two people died of Covid-19 in the past week. . “The authorities have not released the exact death figures. I don’t understand why they are hiding it. Maybe they don’t want people to panic,” Agarwal said. Similar comments were made by Sanjay Mittal, an employee at another cremation facility in Muzaffarnagar. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. We set the crematorium on fire from dawn to dusk,” Mittal said. Before the pandemic, Mittal’s cremation facility handled about 5 bodies a day. But on April 27, they received 21 bodies. On April 28, the number of bodies decreased to 15, before once again increasing to 19 on April 29. “It is noon now, and we have already got 12 bodies. I don’t know how much more will it be by the end of the day,” Mittal said on April 30. The number of bodies taken for burial has also increased sharply in the Muslim cemetery in Muzaffarnagar. “Before the corona virus, we buried 2-3 bodies a week, but now it is 6-7 bodies a day. Only three of them come from the hospital, the rest are either dead at home or not tested,” Mr. Abdul Quadir, curator, said. Government data show that Muzaffarnagar has a very low rate of testing. On April 27, the whole city did not conduct tests. On April 29, only 561 people were tested, all positive for corona virus. The actual number of deaths could be 3 times higher An unnamed doctor from the Medical Association in Uttar Pradesh state said that many people die from pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis – typical symptoms of severe form Covid-19. “We have to accept that the death toll from corona virus is much higher than the official statistics. The bodies we see at the crematorium are mostly self-medicating at home, and they die.” The number of deaths like this is very high, but most of them have not been recorded. The rate of testing here is much lower than the need, “the doctor said. Murad Banaji, the mathematician who modeled the plague in India, said the numerous streams of evidence suggest that the understatement of deaths from disease is a serious problem. This expert believes that the number of deaths in India is at least 3 times higher than the official statistics. The conclusion is based on calculations from major cities like Mumbai, where during the first outbreak of the epidemic he calculated the number of “excess deaths” compared to the annual number of deaths. Mass cremation area in New Delhi. Photo: Reuters. This calculation could put the number of Covid-19 deaths in Mumbai from 13,000 to about 21,000. Banaji stressed that in less developed rural areas, such as in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with limited medical facilities, Covid-19 deaths are not recorded “perhaps much larger than in cities like Mumbai “. The consequences of inaccurate statistics on the number of deaths can be very serious. It will affect the effective allocation of resources, limiting the ability to develop a suitable immunization strategy to help prevent future outbreaks. “If we don’t have data to understand what’s going on in the current pandemic, how can India prepare for the future?” Mr. Banaji said.

Oxygen infusion is an important treatment for lethal virus positive patients. However, on April 22, 6 hospitals in India announced this essential item. According to the Indian Express If the country of 1.3 billion people continues to report hundreds of thousands of new cases every day, the demand for medical oxygen cylinders will rise sharply in 12 states of India. The case crisis caused the price of these medical devices to skyrocket. According to the Times of India , to buy an oxygen tank, the buyer has to spend 250–330 USD. Even, many advertisements for selling oxygen cylinders with prices ranging from 400–460 USD appeared rampant on social networks. Share with AFP On April 22, an Indian man said he had to pay $ 600 per bottle of oxygen, which was nine times higher than before the outbreak. According to World Bank data, the total annual income of the people of India is only about $ 2,120. The number of Coivd-19 infections in India has skyrocketed, making the price of medical oxygen cylinders extremely expensive here. Photo: Getty. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the demand for medical oxygen is skyrocketing in 25 countries around the world, especially Africa. More than half a million patients with Covid-19 require oxygen therapy every day, meaning hospitals need 1.1 million oxygen cylinders to use within 24 hours. Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Nigeria and other countries all declared a shortage of oxygen tanks as the number of cases increased. Worth mentioning, families of critical patients are forced to find and buy medical oxygen cylinders on the black market to save their loved ones’ lives. According to the Guardian, in Peru by 2020, the price of an oxygen tank was once pushed up to $ 1,000. In the UK, the Washington Post notes that a woman pays $ 1,300 for an oxygen tank, 1,000% more expensive than usual. According to the New York Times The 7-fold increase in the demand for medical oxygen in Mexico has enabled the black market to thrive. There are disputes and blocking of oxygen vehicles in some places, local reports say. Not long after, the price of medical oxygen cylinders sold on the black market had tripled. Brazil also experiences medical oxygen deficiencies during times of alarming number of cases. In Manaus, a city in Brazil, to buy a 50-liter oxygen tank, families have to pay nearly $ 1,200, 6.5 times more expensive than usual. However, the black market is not the only reason why the price of this medical device soared. Traffic and infrastructure are also factors that make this happen. Medical oxygen is usually produced by factories and cooled during transportation. In developed countries, oxygen is usually transported in a liquid form, making them less space-consuming and saving on transportation costs. However, the underdeveloped countries are only capable of transporting medical oxygen as a gas. Compared to the central hospital in London, hospitals in Kenya and Nigeria have to pay five to ten times more to buy a medical oxygen tank, according to the Press Bureau in the UK. According to the The Times At Mexico’s most difficult times, an oxygen tank cost more than $ 800, 10 times the cost of a US hospital. According to the Indian Express Most states in India have diverted oxygen production. Instead of serving industrial needs like the manufacture of steel, iron and glass, oxygen will be used largely for medical purposes. However, transportation in the country of 1.3 billion people remains a major obstacle. In particular, the centers of medical oxygen production are concentrated mainly in the East, while the demand for this item is increasing in other areas. The logistics costs were padded, pushing the price of an oxygen tank five times, from about $ 5 to $ 26. All India Radio News said the Indian police have been straightforward to prevent the proliferation of the “black oxygen” market. The state government of Uttar Pradesh announced that it would invoke the National Security Act and the Black Society Act to combat these marketing practices. In addition, in response to the crisis, India is planning to import 50,000 tons of medical oxygen. At the same time, the country is also setting up the “Oxygen Express” train to supply states severely affected by the epidemic. This train will depart from the Bokaro steel plant, carrying liquid oxygen. The Indian government has received much criticism for not upgrading its infrastructure from scratch to avoid the current shortages. “We did not plan this shortage even though we knew the second crisis was coming,” Dr. Lalit Kant, an epidemiologist, told the BBC.

Railroad Minister Piyush Goyal said the government was directing an increase in express trains carrying medical oxygen to New Delhi to meet shortages in hospitals. The Air Force has also been deployed to help transport manpower and medical supplies, such as oxygen tanks, to the areas needed. Pictured are empty oxygen tanks transported by transport aircraft C-17 and IL-76 to the production plant. Photo: ANI. The convoy of tank trucks went to the supply plant to refill liquid medical oxygen, amid a wave of Covid-19 spreading across India. In the past 24 hours, India continued to record a record number of new infections: 354,531 – the highest level in the world and also the highest in this country ever. Photo: Reuters. The lack of oxygen in New Delhi hospitals has many causes. The industrial oxygen production plants that mainly serve the Indian capital are located in seven different states. In addition, due to the flammable nature of this material, all liquid oxidation shipments must be transported in specialized tanks; So it takes a long time to plan the shipping. Some localities even make it difficult to transport oxygen first, to meet local demand. Photo: Reuters. Vans carrying oxygen tanks are waiting outside the factory in Ghaziabad, a suburb of New Delhi, India, on April 22. A high court in the capital on April 24 warned that anyone would “hang” from obstructing the circulation of oxygen supplies.

(Photo: AP) India’s hospital system falls into a shortage of hospital beds and medical oxygen when there are hundreds of thousands of new infections every day. This South Asian country can produce at least 7,100 tons of oxygen / day, including the amount of oxygen for industry. In theory, with the above mentioned output, India could meet the current oxygen demand. The main problem is that medical oxygen is not delivered in time to the hospital to save the patient. This delay stemmed from the location of the production units and distribution systems. (Photo: AP) Medical staff removed the patient from the scene of the fire at Vijay Vallabh Hospital for Covid-19 treatment in Virar, near Mumbai, April 23. Thirteen patients died from the incident.

On April 21, at least 24 people with Covid-19 disease in western India died after running out of oxygen supplies supplied to their breathing apparatus. (Photo: AP) To address the serious shortage of medical oxygen, the Indian government has mobilized the country’s railway industry to organize high-speed trains that carry oxygen from steel mills to areas where the epidemiology is most critical. Over the past 24 hours, these special trains have transported nearly 150 tons of oxygen. (Photo: AP) The government also uses Indian Air Force cargo planes to transport empty containers to production centers. After being filled with oxygen, the tank will be transported to localities by road. The Indian armed forces are importing 23 German oxygen-producing mobile devices. In addition, the government has ordered the conversion of argon and nitrogen storage tanks into oxygen tanks. According to experts, in the coming days, the number of cases in India will continue to increase strongly, the country will have to solve two problems of oxygen production and distribution simultaneously. (Photo: Xinhua) According to the latest statistics, the state of Maharashtra accounts for 27% of India’s 2.5 million Covid-19 cases that have not been cured and 33% of India’s more than 190,000 deaths. Mumbai City plans to build 16 facilities in 12 hospitals in the area to produce oxygen from the air. It is estimated that this plan will require a cost of 12 million USD.

According to the ANI news agency, India will start the third phase of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign on May 1, with all 18 years of age and older. Residents can register for the vaccination from April 28. According to India’s Health Ministry data released yesterday, the country has injected 138,379,832 million doses of vaccine since the start of vaccination on January 16. (Photo: AP)

@China News Network The personal accounts of children participating in employee medical insurance can be used by their parents to implement mutual aid within the family. Author: Zhang Ni Incorporate more general outpatient expenses into the payment scope of the overall planning fund, implement family mutual aid in personal accounts, and do not need to run errands to large hospitals for minor illnesses… Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Guidelines on Establishing and Improving the Outpatient Mutual Assistance Mechanism of Basic Medical Insurance for Employees Opinion”, major changes that affect the whole family’s medical treatment will happen! Data map: A patient uses the face recognition system to make an appointment with an expert number under the guidance.Photo by Wang Guangzhao ——Incorporate more general outpatient fees into the payment scope of the overall fund Employee medical insurance was established in 1998. It implements a security model that combines social pooling and personal accounts. The pooled fund guarantees hospitalization and outpatient major illnesses, and the personal account guarantees outpatient expenses for minor illnesses and medicines. The opinions announced this time put forward the establishment and improvement of an overall insurance mechanism for general outpatient expenses of medical insurance for employees, based on the medical insurance work for outpatient chronic diseases and special diseases (hereinafter collectively referred to as outpatient chronic diseases) that are burdened by the masses such as hypertension and diabetes. , Gradually include common outpatient expenses for frequently-occurring and common diseases into the scope of payment by the overall planning fund. In addition, general outpatient clinics cover all insured employees of employee medical insurance, and the payment ratio within the policy range starts from 50%. As the medical insurance fund’s capacity increases, the level of protection is gradually increased, and the payment of benefits can be appropriately tilted to retirees. According to Chen Jinfu, deputy director of the National Medical Insurance Administration, on the 22nd, the opinions issued this time mainly include three measures in establishing an outpatient mutual aid guarantee mechanism. One is to establish an overall plan for general outpatient clinics, and gradually include frequently-occurring and common diseases in outpatient clinics into the medical insurance overall plan for reimbursement. These expenses were basically solved by personal accounts. The second is to strengthen the outpatient protection for chronic diseases and special diseases, and gradually include the outpatient expenses for diseases with high costs and long treatment cycles into the scope of outpatient protection. For some outpatients, chronic diseases, and serious illness related treatments, they are seen in the outpatient clinic, but they are managed according to the hospitalization policy. Third, in addition to attending designated medical institutions, insured persons can settle and purchase medicines at designated retail pharmacies with prescriptions outside the hospital. Those who meet the regulations will be included in the payment scope of the overall planning fund, and the corresponding designated retail pharmacies will also be included in such a designated scope of protection. This also means, In the future, more outpatient expenses will be included in the medical insurance reimbursement, which will help to reduce the medical burden of the insured.

——The unit payment is no longer included in the personal account

According to opinions, in the future, the personal account credit method will also be improved.

The document proposes that it is necessary to scientifically and reasonably determine the crediting method and crediting level of personal accounts. The personal accounts of employees should be credited by the basic medical insurance premiums paid by individuals. The crediting standard is controlled at 2% of the insurance payment base in principle and paid by the unit. All the basic medical insurance premiums of the retirees are included in the overall planning fund; in principle, the individual accounts of retirees are allocated from the overall planning fund at a fixed amount, and the amount allocated is gradually adjusted to about 2% of the average level of the basic pension in the year that the overall planning area implemented the reform according to this opinion.

Regarding this adjustment, Chen Jinfu explained that after the reform of the personal account, the personal accumulation is still owned by the individual, and the rights and interests have not changed. After more than 20 years of reforms, the personal account has a cumulative balance of 1 trillion yuan. The money has not moved, and it is still personal rights.

He emphasized, Reforming personal accounts is not about canceling personal accounts, but adjusting the credit ratio of personal accounts. This is a rotation of two aspects, realizing a kind of system transformation. The decrease in new credits in general personal accounts means the establishment, expansion, improvement, and enhancement of the outpatient mutual aid guarantee system. Reducing the part does not mean that the guarantee will be lost, but put it in the big pool of mutual aid guarantee, forming a new guarantee mechanism.

——Personal accounts implement family mutual aid

Among the documents issued this time, there is also the implementation of family mutual aid in personal accounts that attracts people’s attention.

——No need to run errands to see a big hospital for minor illnesses

According to reports, the establishment and improvement of a mutual assistance mechanism for employee medical insurance outpatient clinics will also have a positive impact on the improvement of primary medical and health services.

Chen Jinfu said that the outpatient guarantee mechanism has a collective effect on the allocation of primary medical resources, the improvement of primary service capabilities, and the general outpatient guarantee for the masses.

Through this reform, the employee medical insurance has roughly replaced 200 billion funds. According to estimates and the current per capita outpatient medical level, it should be said that 80 billion funds should be invested in primary medical institutions. With personal payment, at least 100 billion additional fund resources can be added to support primary medical institutions.

For ordinary people, there are system dividends, Minor illnesses can be seen in primary medical institutions, and there is no need to run errands to see a major hospital, and the cost of medical treatment will be greatly reduced. At the same time, for the entire country’s resource allocation, it has formed a better allocation under the condition that the total amount of medical resource allocation remains unchanged.

——Retirees reduce the burden of outpatient expenses

The establishment of an outpatient mutual aid mechanism this time has improved the protection of the elderly.

According to Fan Weidong, head of the Treatment Protection Department of the National Medical Insurance Administration, the opinion proposes that the general outpatient overall protection level should start at 50%, and it is clearly required that all localities provide additional preferential payments to retired elderly people on this basis. When the reform is implemented and the outpatient protection mechanism is fully implemented, it is preliminary estimated that this system can reduce the burden of outpatient expenses for retirees by nearly 100 billion yuan.

In addition, this time we will improve the outpatient guarantee mechanism, It is specifically proposed to further increase the types of diseases that are included in outpatient chronic diseases and outpatient special diseases, The outpatient chronic disease protection paid by the overall fund has been strengthened, which is a great benefit for the elderly. In other words, during the reform process, this part of the population will benefit even more and the benefits will be wider.

——Eligible retail pharmacies are included in the scope of the overall fund settlement

Data shows that by the end of 2020, there are about 390,000 designated medical pharmacies nationwide, and the annual expenditure of personal accounts for designated pharmacies is about 200 billion yuan or more. So, what impact will the establishment of an outpatient mutual aid mechanism have on retail pharmacies?

Fan Weidong said that this reform also paid great attention to continue to play the positive role of designated retail pharmacies in medical security services, and introduced some measures to continue to support the development of pharmacies.

Empty oxygen tanks were transported to production plants by Indian Air Force C-17 and IL-76 transports. (Photo: ANI) By all means, day and night, the Government of India is working hard to produce and transport as much medical oxygen as possible to areas severely affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, including the capital New Delhi and the states in the West and South. The country’s Supreme Court even allowed the operation of a copper production complex in the state of Tamil Nadu, which has been suspended, only for the purpose of bringing back an industrial oxygen production plant located there. production to meet current urgent needs. However, severe shortages and even depletion of oxygen still occur in hotspots of disease. So the reason is why? A cargo train transports liquid oxygen vehicles from Visakhapatnam city, Andhra Pradesh state to Maharashtra state – India’s largest Covid-19 epidemic zone. (Photo: ANI) Hospital has depleted medical oxygen? The current emergency scarcity is not that Indian hospitals have run out of oxygen. Is that oxygen being delivered to these locations in time? The delay in delivering this product originated from the location of the manufacturing plant. In the capital New Delhi, for example, over the past week, many hospitals that do not have the capacity to meet their own medical oxygen needs have struggled to find emergency supplies. However, at the same time, the epidemic situation in neighboring New Delhi such as Uttar Pradesh and Haryana also progressed too badly. local demand in advance. As a result, hospitals in New Delhi have to place orders from factories further away in industrial zones in eastern India. Oxygen storage tanks in a hospital warehouse in New Delhi. (Photo: ANI) New problem arises again Industrial oxygen production plants serving the Indian capital are located in seven different states. Some factories are more than 1,000 kilometers from New Delhi. Due to the flammable nature of this material, all liquefied oxygen shipments must be transported in special storage tanks, with detailed shipping plans to ensure on-time delivery. And over the past few days, when the demand for medical oxygen in India has peaked, localities have acted to make it difficult to transport oxygen to meet the local demand first. Because of these moves, New Delhi received only 177 tons of pure oxygen on April 21, instead of 378 tons as allocated. However, some local sources claim that hospitals in New Delhi have made it difficult for themselves to order goods without taking into account the time it takes to transport oxygen across many states by road. “The problem did not arise if they calculated and ordered from 2-3 weeks ago.” This source told the Economic Times. The New Delhi government also did not respond to questions about the planning. A Covid-19 patient had to breathe oxygen while waiting to be placed in a hospital bed at LNJP Hospital, New Delhi. (Photo: ANI) India has enough capacity to produce oxygen for medical purposes India’s daily oxygen production capacity can amount to as little as 7,100 tons, including for industrial purposes. This amount is sufficient to meet the current demand. This week, the Government of India decided to allocate 6,822 tons of liquid oxygen per day to the 20 states most affected by Covid-19. This amount is larger than the total demand of these localities, which is 6,785 tons. Thus, the demand for oxygen for health care in India has nearly doubled in just one week. On April 12, the amount of oxygen required by the health sector was only about 3,842 tons. According to the Office of the Prime Minister of India, India’s oxygen capacity has increased by 3,300 tons in just a few days by shifting resources for steel production and industry to the medical sector. All of which are intended to serve Covid-19 patients The logistics of transporting oxygen is a priority at the moment. The Indian government has mobilized freight trains to move liquid oxygen tanks from the factory to localities in urgent need. The country uses Air Force cargo jets to transfer empty tanks to the factory. Then these oxygen tanks are refilled again and returned by road. In addition, the Indian military is importing 23 mobile oxygen production machines from Germany to prepare for the worse situation. Many industries are also reported to be supporting pure oxygen in hospitals. Tata multidisciplinary corporation of India has imported 24 specialized containers to transport liquid oxygen. The government has also ordered the conversion of argon and nitrogen storage tanks for medical oxygen transport. However, according to experts, with the increasing rate of SARS-CoV-2 virus infections as in the past days with more than 300,000 people per day, the demand for oxygen for medical purposes will continue to escalate. India needs to prepare to increase production and distribution of this particular type of medical supplies in the coming days.
