Abstract:

Chronic pulmonary diseases are characterized by high prevalence, high disability rate, high fatality rate and high disease burden, and the population awareness rate is low, especially the lung function detection rate is lower. But with the impact of COVID-19, the comprehensive prevention and control of chronic pulmonary diseases must be accelerated in the post-epidemic era. We have the confidence to fulfill the tasks in the post-epidemic era by giving full play to the powerful power brought by the four-wheel drive of law engine, policy engine, planning engine and practice engine. At the same time, the combination of prevention and treatment, and the collaboration between medical and prevention is an effective way to solve the operational problems in the prevention and control of chronic respiratory diseases.
