Abstract:

MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients have always been a major problem in the prevention and control of tuberculosis. Travel by public transportation for MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients during the active period may increase the probability of transmission of tuberculosis. There is an urgent need to control MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients on traffic from a legislative perspective. Formulate and improve the travel laws and regulations for MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients, use the internet and big data as the support to realize the information sharing and online tracking of MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients in multiple departments and fields, and give full play to the active role of basic public health and primary medical institutions to achieve dynamic management of MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients. Improve the dynamic management system for registration, reporting, travel and treatment records and supervision of MDR-TB/XDR-TB patients. With strong legal support, using the advantages of network information technology, multiple departments coordinated and cooperated, give full play to the functions of tuberculosis patient management personnel and information monitoring personnel, and establish a complete patient network management procedure to promote the management and prevention and control of travel of patients with MDR-TB/XDR-TB.
