Fan Liu, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Department of Orthopaedics, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Jiangsu Province, suggested promoting the development of geriatrics and speeding up the construction of geriatric hospitals. The reason is that the elderly hospitals are facing the problem of no construction standards, that is, existence? Blank area? .

Fan Liu suggested promoting the improvement of the discipline status of geriatrics at the national level, taking geriatrics as an independent discipline system and bringing it into the national key professional discipline construction plan, supporting medical colleges to set up geriatrics specialty, expanding the scale of running schools and enriching the teaching staff.

She said:? From the perspective of education and training system, there is no national textbook system for geriatric colleges in China, and there are very few medical colleges and secondary vocational medical and health schools offering geriatric majors. Only a few medical colleges offer elective courses for the elderly in the fourth grade, lacking systematic training mechanism and standards for elderly talents. ?

I support this suggestion.

The data shows that there are 249 million elderly people over 60 years old in China, and about 65.438+67 million elderly people over 65 years old. Among them, more than 1.800 million elderly people suffer from chronic diseases, and 42 million elderly people are disabled or partially disabled, accounting for 1. 1.8% of the total elderly population. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the dependency ratio of the elderly population in China has increased from less than 9% to 17.8% in the past 30 years.

It is a problem for the elderly to see a doctor. Now the elderly still have to queue up for registration like ordinary patients. There are many patients in some big hospitals, and it may take one day for the elderly to see a doctor. This kind of tossing may worsen their situation.

And the so-called? Is there an elderly doctor? According to the physical characteristics of the elderly and their expectations for health and longevity, it means providing professional health protection services to meet the health and happiness needs of the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the construction of geriatric hospitals, which is in line with China's national conditions.
