8 safeguard measures

8.1 Strengthen the capacity building of disease control institutions.

In accordance with the requirements of the National and Autonomous Region’s Standards for the Construction of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Guiding Opinions on the Organization Standards for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we will strengthen infrastructure construction, increase investment, strengthen personnel training, deepen internal reform, improve scientific research level and professional ability, reach the national and autonomous region standards as soon as possible, and provide strong technical support for plague prevention and control.

Strengthen the construction of laboratory detection capacity of county-level disease control institutions, and enhance the capacity of plague field monitoring laboratories. All county-level rodent control professional institutions should have the ability to carry out nucleic acid detection, so as to comprehensively improve laboratory infrastructure, detection equipment and personnel technology. At the same time, we should constantly strengthen the standardization and standardization of laboratory management system, and comprehensively improve the biosafety level of plague laboratories.

Because the focus of plague prevention and control work is in remote and poor areas, the work is hard and the task is heavy. Plague is a highly pathogenic and virulent infectious disease, and rodent control personnel are facing a high threat of biological safety. All regions should ensure the wages and benefits of plague control personnel, pay temporary work subsidies in full and on time, and tilt the appointment of professional titles.

8.2 Strengthen the monitoring of plague among animals and human beings.

Improve the three-level plague monitoring system in autonomous regions, union cities and counties (cities, districts). In accordance with the requirements of the National Plague Monitoring Program and the Plague Monitoring Program of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, monitoring points are set up reasonably, the monitoring scope is continuously expanded, and the plague monitoring among animals is actively carried out. Gradually promote the application of drones to carry out epidemic focus surveys, carry out new technologies such as plague nucleic acid detection, and continuously improve the efficiency and quality of monitoring work. Medical and health institutions at all levels should strengthen the management of outpatient, emergency and fever clinics, especially primary medical institutions should effectively play the role of "sentinel" in human plague monitoring, strengthen the investigation and reporting of fever patients, and improve the awareness and ability of medical personnel to identify plague patients.

8.3 improve the emergency response ability of plague

In accordance with the requirements of the state and autonomous regions, standardize the plague emergency team, emergency equipment and emergency material reserves, and improve the infrastructure and laboratory equipment conditions of disease prevention and control institutions or plague prevention and control professional institutions.

Each region organizes at least one plague emergency drill every year to improve the response level and ability of emergency teams.

8.4 Strengthen the capacity building of medical treatment

Strengthen the emergency preparedness of medical and health institutions to deal with the sudden plague epidemic and improve the ability of treatment. Designated medical institutions of plague in various regions should have the ability to carry out rapid screening of plague pathogens, improve the response mechanism of clinical treatment, standardize the prevention process of nosocomial infection, transform and build negative pressure wards and negative pressure laboratories, and equip them with certain facilities and equipment, so that they can have a high level of comprehensive treatment ability and biosafety protection conditions, and truly treat plague cases nearby and on the spot. Strengthen the sense of responsibility of medical institutions and medical staff, and establish a responsibility system for the investigation of patients with fever. According to the principle of territorial management, the health administrative department of counties (cities, districts) should sign a letter of responsibility with all kinds of medical institutions at all levels, the heads of medical institutions and medical staff in the jurisdiction, and compact the responsibility step by step and incorporate it into the performance management of medical institutions.

8.5 Strengthen the working mechanism of combining medical treatment with prevention.

Within the health system, it is necessary to establish a close cooperation mode of combining plague medical treatment and prevention, and strengthen the working mechanism of interconnection between disease control, medical treatment and health supervision institutions. Disease control institutions should release early warning information to medical institutions in a timely manner, and carry out training on plague prevention and control related knowledge and laws and regulations for medical personnel. Medical institutions should actively carry out active monitoring of human plague. It is necessary to set up a human plague monitor in this unit, build an interconnection bridge with the disease control institutions, grasp the epidemic dynamics of plague among animals in this area in real time, and notify the disease control institutions in a timely manner according to regulations when suspected plague cases are found. Medical institutions should give certain performance rewards to human plague monitors. Health supervision institutions should promptly carry out supervision and inspection on the prevention and control of plague in various medical institutions at all levels to ensure that all prevention and control work is implemented in detail.

8.6 Strengthen the working mechanism of joint defense and joint control among departments.

Improve the inter-office joint conference system for prevention and control of major diseases, further clarify the responsibilities and functions of each member unit, and actively study major issues in plague prevention and control according to their responsibilities and functions. Each member unit should plan, study, arrange and implement the work of the unit, and form a joint prevention and control work pattern with information exchange, close cooperation and mutual support.

8.7 Establish the working mechanism of group prevention and control.

Take Gacha village (community) as the basic unit, implement grid and carpet management, fully implement territorial responsibility, departmental responsibility, unit responsibility and individual responsibility, clarify the division of responsibilities, and implement the responsibility of plague prevention and control to each grid unit, so as to achieve accurate management to counties (cities, districts), Gacha village (community) and households (units), and at the same time implement the organs, enterprises, institutions and grassroots organizations under the jurisdiction.
