The habituation " Hide shame " Don't forget the experience and lessons of SARS
In season when spring is in the air and the flowers are in blossom, but a piece of news makes the person anxious, that is that the ill epidemic situation ascendant trend of brothers' mouth is swift and violent. According to the news which Ministry of Public Health releases, from the 1st of January this year to March 26, 30 provinces in the whole country (except Tibet) Report to a 41846 cases of brothers together, report 18 death cases. Brothers mouth though disease be born down menacingly, be controlled when can defendinged,needn't overstrain. But people will unavoidably have a silk query: So many cases, must not burst out quickly, why is before this, does not the public know? Comb this year about the intersection of brothers and news, mouth of disease, easy to find, concentrate on take place epidemic situation first, it is the civil rights of Henan Province county. The reporter sees in the interview, occupy the infant of the same disease in the county hospital: Positions such as generating heat, brothers' oral cavity,etc. present bleb, ulcer. But they have such diseases as encephalitis, upper airway infection, the cranium infecting, intestine are infected with diagnosed as by the doctor separately. Later, at the pressure of the public opinion, brothers who the civil rights county reported to had just more and more cases. Ministry of Public Health circulates a notice of criticism in the civil rights county, the post that the civil rights county removes director and king people of Yang BaoJun, chief of county hospital, and county from opening too. It seems that the civil rights county, about brothers' epidemic situation once misfeasance, is definite. Then, have had a phenomenon of concealing the epidemic situation? Director of Ministry of Public Health information office Deng HaiHua says, the civil rights of Henan, pool of Shandong He may be failed to report, whether exist and conceal on purpose, need the comprehensive investigation of local health authority, there are results that will be announced. Concealing the epidemic situation, we have very deep experience and lessons. A bit nearer once was last year. Also in March, Anhui Fuyang appear the intersection of mouth and disease, brothers of many cases, but the local related departments are secretive, until the last ten days of April, under the pressure of the pressure of the public opinion, just release the news of epidemic situation, later, the epidemic situation spread in all parts of the country. Once a bit farther, let the Chinese imprint on the bones and inscribe on the memory especially, that is epidemic of SARS in spring of 2003. SARS bring us most deep lesson, to conceal what a serious consequence epidemic situation bring. It is exactly the great outburst of epidemic of SARS, expose the problem that the information resource management of our government lags behind seriously, also make the public have deeper understanding to the information of government affairs publicly, and impel the relevant legislative step to accelerate greatly. Say SARS is expedited the emergence of " government's information discloses the regulations ", it is not a mistake. However, though there are this regulations, some government departments, meet the question, is used to " hiding shame " ,But is not used to information to disclose. Why such woolen cloth? Take ill epidemic situation of mouths of brothers as examples to analyze whether report the epidemic situation, will disclose information is of higher level a department because it " prevents and cures the epidemic situation and does one's best" And ask the responsibility? Whether to conceal the epidemic situation or not, may avoid asking the responsibility? I think, this kind of mood by sheer good luck, in some officer hearts, have. Here must be a bit clearer, " prevent and cure the epidemic situation and do one's best " ,It is really a fault or breaches; But conceal the epidemic situation on purpose, it is a crime. While reporting the making and settlement of the system in public health event, must distinguish these two kinds of situations strictly, to concealing on purpose, should punish severely in accordance with the law. In addition, do not conceal the epidemic situation and there is meaning of two layers, should first, report as soon as possible to higher authorities, second, tell the public as soon as possible. Cause the public wait for so-called while being panic excessively" The side effect " ,Can well avoid by scientific explanation. Besides, ordinary people can't get the fear of accurate information in time, must be far more than information to disclose far. The disaster with such a big heavy earthquake of Wen Sichuan, the open information in time of the government, public mood has not been also stabilized soon. Chen Zhu, minister of Ministry of Public Health, emphasizes on March 28, should do brothers' mouth ill reporting the work well, forbid concealing, prevent failing to report, reporting by mistake. Must not forget the experience and lessons of SARS, want the alarm sounds continuously. (Li TianYang)
