Research On The Development Of Medical Care Services In The Yanbian Region

Yanbian is a minority region with a glorious revolutionary tradition.During the Anti-Japanese War and the Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War,Yanbian was an important base area in Northeast China.As early as1945,it was liberated with the surrender of Japan.Before liberation,due to the control,exploitation,and oppression of imperialism,feudalism,and bureaucratism,Yanbian had backward medical care conditions and extremely poor sanitation,and the masses lived a miserable life of poverty and diseases.Meanwhile,the imperialist opium harm resulted in the decline in the people’s physique,the proliferation of diseases,epidemic diseases,and the death of countless poor people.After liberation,the people’s government attached great importance to the people’s medical care.In particular,after the establishment of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Region(later changed to Autonomous Prefecture),the medical care in Yanbian gradually experienced a larger and stronger development owing to the guidance of the Party’s ethnic policy and the leadership of governments at all levels.By 1965,Yanbian had basically established a three-level health administrative system based on the prefecture,county(city),community(township,town),and developed a three-level medical care network state the prefecture,county(city),community(township,town).The region established and improved medical care,sanitation and epidemic prevention,maternal and child health,tuberculosis prevention and control,medical education,traditional Chinese medicine,and other institutions and guidance centers,thus fundamentally changing the backward situation of lack of medical care and medicine in Yanbian.The patriotic health campaign has changed the health care of urban and rural areas,and the prevention and treatment of diseases have led to the apparent decrease of the incidence rates of various infectious diseases.The development of medical care in the Yanbian region has guaranteed the health of the people of all people in Yanbian and has advanced the development of industrial and agricultural production and various fields.This paper takes the development of medical care services in the Yanbian region from 1945 to 1965 as the research object.The paper includes five chapters.As the first chapter,the introduction makes a necessary elaboration on the research purpose and significance,research status,research methods,etc.,thus serving as the research basis.The second chapter briefly introduces the medical care situation of the Yanbian region before liberation.The third chapter studies and analyzes the establishment and improvement of the medical care system in Yanbian after liberation in such aspects as medical care administrative institutions,medical institutions,team building,and medical education.The fourth chapter discusses the basic content of medical care work in the Yanbian region after liberation,mainly from such perspectives as epidemic prevention and control,patriotic health movement,maternal and child health care,and public sanitation.The fifth chapter evaluates the medical care services and mainly analyzes the achievements and experience of medical care services in Yanbian after liberation.The medical care service is a huge system.Thus,we can gain some experience and inspiration for the current medical care service by researching the medical care service in Yanbian after liberation and analyzing its success and failure.Since medical care is an important means to prevent diseases and protect people’s health,its development is closely related to the political,economic,and cultural development of society.Therefore,research on the development of medical care services can exert a significant effect on helping us to grasp the social development during that period and the local conditions and customs of ethnic minorities in Yanbian.
