The Research Of Schistosomiasis Control In Huizhou Area(1951?1978)

Schistosomiasis,as a widespread,rapid and harmful disease,has become the most harmful disease in the early years of new China.Huizhou area has suffered from schistosomiasis for a long time due to its natural and social causes,which has seriously affected the health and social production of the whole region.After the founding of new China,the central government called for the prevention and treatment of schistosomiasis in Huizhou area in 1951.The period from 1951 to 1954 was the initial stage of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Huizhou area: special prevention and control institutions were set up,medical and health teams were trained,epidemic cases were investigated,and the first eradication and treatment of schistosomiasis were initially carried out.The period from 1955 to 1957 was the initial development stage of schistosomiasis control: the advantages of agricultural cooperatives were brought into play.The dung pipe work was further strengthened,regular snail detection teams were established,and the combined treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine was adopted to promote the development of schistosomiasis control.The period from 1958 to 1960 was a great leap forward in schistosomiasis control.Influenced by the thought of "left",boastfulness and misdirection appeared in the schistosomiasis control in Huizhou area,which led to the rebound of the epidemic.The period from 1961 to 1965 was the adjustment period of schistosomiasis prevention and control: to correct the mistakes of the "great leap forward",to identify the principle of seeking truth from facts,to carry out a large-scale general survey of endemic areas,to strengthen the protection of production and life,to mobilize the masses to carry out the war of snail eradication,and to gradually restore the normalization of schistosomiasis control.From 1966 to 1978,the control of schistosomiasis went from low tide to high tide.In 1966,the cultural revolution broke out,and under the influence of "left-leaning" errors,schistosomiasis control agencies were cut down,and schistosomiasis control personnel were sent to lower levels.In 1970,under the guidance of the central government's No.1970(2)and No.1970(49)documents on schistosomiasis prevention and control,Huizhou area re-established and improved schistosomiasis control organizations at all levels,actively trained the backbone of schistosomiasis control teams,strengthened the publicity and education of the masses,and insisted on repeated snail detection and snail eradication,so as to strengthen the "manure eradication and water eradication ".A "people's war" to eliminate schistosomiasis was launched in Huizhou area,and schistosomiasis control work entered a revival stage.In 1978,the Huizhou municipal committee declared that schistosomiasis was basically eliminated.The prevention and control work of schistosomiasis in Huizhou area has gone through a long and arduous process,but still achieved good results: by 1978,schistosomiasis had been basically eliminated or reached the standard,the people's health had been improved,the production and living standards had been improved,and the environment and health had been greatly improved.The prevention and control of schistosomiasis in Huizhou area has left us experience,that is,the ruling party should give play to its organizational advantages and establish a strict schistosomiasis control leadership system.To establish efficient and orderly joint prevention and control mechanism;We must persist in publicity and mobilization,mass prevention and control;medical innovation should be actively carried out.Huizhou area's schistosomiasis control lasted for more than 20 years,with some success and some mistakes.Although the process was tortuous,finally we won the victory,which fully demonstrated the superiority of the socialist system.At present,we are facing the COVID-19,the party and the government has summarized the historical experience of the disease prevention and control,and established a strict and effective control and prevention system,which makes it easier for China to control the spread of the epidemic.It not only brought hope to the whole nation,but also provides referential experience of epidemic prevention and control to other countries.
