Part of Yunnan's Occupational Disease Identification Organization is idle

"Each year 600 to 700 people in the province are diagnosed with occupational diseases. However, in the face of increasing patient populations, we can only choose specialized outpatient treatment in general hospitals. At present, we look forward to the establishment of an occupational disease specialist hospital in the province. Provide more comprehensive and detailed medical services for occupational patients, said Zhao Hongyu, director of the Occupational Disease Rescue Center of Yunnan Province and Director of the Occupational Diseases Department of the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province.

Zhao Hongyu introduced that due to the large number of industrial and mining enterprises in the central and eastern regions of the province, the occupational disease population is also concentrated in this area. Among them, three kinds of occupational diseases, heavy metal poisoning, harmful gas poisoning, and silicosis, are the most common.

Only 1,000 people in the province have diagnostic qualifications

Zhao Hongyu introduced that there are currently 20 institutions in Yunnan Province that have occupational disease diagnostic qualifications, but the level of diagnosis is uneven.

Among the occupational disease diagnostic institutions in our province, most diagnostic institutions are located in the Kunming area, and only a few institutions are scattered in the city. However, due to the weak infrastructure, the concept of people is lagging behind, resulting in incomplete facilities for most diagnostic institutions, and unclear levels of doctors' diagnosis. In addition, three physicians with the qualification certificate for occupational disease diagnosis physicians must be diagnosed in order to be effective. In this regard, some occupational disease diagnosis institutions in the city have been idle, which has also caused many occupational disease patients to turn to Kunming for medical treatment.

It is understood that the diagnosis of occupational diseases is a very complicated task. Diagnostic physicians are required to perform in the occupational disease diagnosis institutions approved by the provincial health administrative department. At the same time, they must possess the qualifications of occupational disease diagnosis physicians before they are qualified for occupational diseases. diagnosis. In addition, in addition to professional medical knowledge, it is also necessary to understand comprehensive knowledge of laws, regulations, and industrial injury insurance regulations. "But the occupational disease diagnosis doctors who hold both the "Practitioner's Qualification Certificate" and "Diagnosis Certificate for Occupational Diseases" at the same time in the province are only about 1,000," said Zhao Hongyu.

As for the acquisition of an occupational disease diagnosis certificate or occupational disease diagnosis certificate according to law, the social insurance administrative department no longer conducts investigation and verification, and it is not necessary to carry out fact determination. Just confirm whether there is a labor relationship and employment injury insurance relationship between the employee and the employer. For this reason, occupational disease diagnosis is even more important. “We usually get the diagnosis within 30 working days. Therefore, in the case of tight schedules and heavy tasks, there is no reason to be sloppy,” Zhao Hongyu said.

Looking forward to the establishment of an occupational disease specialist hospital

Due to the lack of occupational disease diagnosis physicians, doctors of the Yunnan Province Occupational Toxic Treatment Center, which is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of important occupational diseases in the province, had to “decorate the two corners” while working in the hospital for occupational disease diagnosis and treatment. Sieve work.

Approved by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Health, the Yunnan Provincial Occupational Poison Treatment Center is located at the Third People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province. The center is the only professional medical institution in the province to obtain professional examinations, diagnosis, treatment, poisoning first aid, work injury assessment, physical and chemical testing, etc. It is a medical institution specializing in occupational disease special disease, and is also a “spot occupational disease treatment institution” for social security of provinces and cities. .

“Because of the large number of industrial and mining enterprises in Yunnan Province, our occupational health monitoring team has been working outside the company all the year round. Sometimes we go to the company to do employee health checkups. Sometimes companies also ask us to go down for inspections. For occupational diseases, we will let them go to the hospital for detailed examination. So our doctors have started medical examinations almost half of the time every year, and they have to undertake more work than other specialty clinics."

Zhao Hongyu expressed the hope that the Yunnan Province will set up an occupational disease specialist hospital as soon as possible to allow occupational patients to seek medical treatment under professional organizations in order to achieve the effect of special treatment for specific diseases, thereby further improving the diagnosis and treatment environment for occupational diseases.
