Beijing will perfect stroke treatment mechanism for stroke victims this year

Evaluate the risk factors for stroke for 40,000 residents 50 years of age and above in this city voluntarily, and provide health education and referral services for high-risk stroke groups. Provide 150,000 free preschool children with dental caries prevention service for freshmen. Children are free to carry out deafness gene screening free of charge.

Interpretation: The Beijing Municipal Health Bureau stated that the stroke, commonly known as “stroke”, has become the leading cause of disability in adults in Beijing. Among the top ten residents who died in the latest statistics in Beijing, cerebrovascular diseases ranked third, accounting for 22.91% of all causes of death.

According to the person in charge, this is due to the fact that the prevalence of stroke increases with age, and when it exceeds 50, the prevalence is significantly higher.

This year, Beijing will also perfect the mechanism of transport treatment for patients with stroke. The 120,999 emergency system will directly transfer patients with stroke to hospitals according to their jurisdiction. For buses, taxi drivers, traffic police, etc., stroke awareness and basic knowledge of first aid will also be gradually trained.
