Yantai City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Conducts Emergency Drill for Chikungunya Fever Prevention and Control, Strengthening the Defense Line for Public Health Safety
In order to further enhance the emergency response capabilities for sudden infectious diseases such as chikungunya fever, standardize the treatment procedures, and ensure the safety of people's lives and health, on the afternoon of July 31st, Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine organized an emergency drill for chikungunya fever prevention and control. Vice President Han Feng and Vice President Tan Song, both from Yantai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, arrived at the scene to guide and preside over the drill. Various administrative departments, clinical departments, and property support departments participated in the drill together, comprehensively testing the hospital's practical response, diagnosis and treatment, and prevention and control coordination capabilities.

The drill was conducted based on the simulated scenario of "patient consultation": A patient with fever, rash and joint pain came to the hospital for consultation. The medical staff at the triage and screening area immediately followed the infectious disease triage and screening process, measuring the patient's temperature, inquiring about the epidemiological history, conducting symptom screening, and preliminarily judged the patient as a suspected case of chikungunya fever. They then quickly guided the patient to the fever clinic for treatment.
The drill process involves multiple steps such as pre-examination and triage, sending patients to the fever clinic for treatment, laboratory testing, disease control testing, transporting patients to designated hospitals, final disinfection, and mosquito control.

The entire drill was carried out in a tense yet orderly manner, with seamless connections between each stage and prompt emergency response. It fully demonstrated the hospital's ability in organizing and coordinating, responding quickly, and handling situations in a standardized manner during the prevention and control of sudden infectious diseases.
The drill was over. Vice President Han Feng conducted a summary and emphasized that the prevention and control of vector-borne infectious diseases such as Chikungunya fever and fever with associated symptoms are crucial for public health. He called for taking this drill as an opportunity to further improve the emergency response plan, enhance departmental collaboration, strengthen personnel training, and continuously improve the proficiency and accuracy of emergency response, so as to truly build a solid barrier for public health security.
