Professor Cui Yong said: In order to keep pace with international psoriasis prevention and control, popularize psoriasis prevention and treatment knowledge, answer patients' questions, and improve the quality of life of psoriasis patients, on the occasion of the 20th World Psoriasis Day today, We have specially launched the "Thousands of Miles and Thousands of Counties without Silver" - "Dandelion" Psoriasis Health Science Popularization Activity, a large-scale public welfare science popularization activity. This activity specially invited the country's top dermatology experts to use online and offline methods. The method is to unite nearly 10,000 hospitals and more than 1,000 "Thousand Counties Silver-Free" cooperative units and psoriasis patients across the country to participate. Today's event will invite experts to answer 10 representative questions about psoriasis. In addition, the activities will further answer other questions that patients are most concerned about and compile into a book to bring more disease knowledge and treatment options to the majority of patients. Finally, I wish this science popularization activity a complete success, and wish all psoriasis patients to truly relieve their pain, step out of the shadows, and enjoy a normal life. Chinese dermatologists must make further efforts to cure all psoriasis patients and contribute to health. China has contributed.

Song Shuli, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said: During the 40 years of development, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital has strived to practice the spirit of scientific humanity and inherit the treasures of Chinese medicine. Among them, dermatology, as a national key clinical specialty construction discipline, has been promoted under the leadership of Professor Cui Yong. Under the leadership of the National Health Commission, he undertook the dermatology quality control research project of the Medical Administration and Medical Administration Bureau of the National Health Commission and made many achievements in the treatment of psoriasis. There are more than 100 million psoriasis patients in the world, and there are more than 7 million psoriasis patients in China, which brings a heavy disease burden. I believe that through this science popularization activity, it can bring great benefits to grassroots medical workers and the majority of psoriasis patients. Big help. Finally, I wish the 20th Psoriasis Day public welfare science popularization activity "Thousands of Miles and Thousands of Counties No Silver" a complete success!

Fang Jianning, deputy director of the Talent Exchange Service Center of the National Health Commission, the guidance unit of the Thousand County Silver Free Project, pointed out: In order to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party and thoroughly implement the Party’s health and health work guidelines in the new era, we must take people’s life safety and physical health into consideration As a starting point and guided by public health needs, the purpose of this event is to disseminate authoritative health science knowledge and expand the dissemination coverage of health science knowledge. Today I see so many experts gathered here to contribute their wisdom to the common goal of popularizing psoriasis science. It can be said that this is a very meaningful work and thing. I would like to express my lofty respect to you. Respect. World Psoriasis Day has not only drawn national attention to psoriasis, but at the same time, the country and medical and health professionals have also paid more and more attention to psoriasis. It is hoped that through the efforts of all parties, patients can be helped to receive better treatment. Systemic treatment, giving patients more care and support!

As the national leading expert of the Thousand Counties No “Silver” project, Professor Zhang Xuejun, executive member of the International Psoriasis Association, chairman of the Psoriasis Special Committee of the Dermatology and Venereology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and distinguished professor of Dushuhu Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University, also conducted a speech In his speech, he said: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, relapsing and systemic disease. Due to its refractory nature, it brings a huge mental and economic burden to patients. However, with the development of the times, new biological agents and small molecule targeted drugs have been launched one after another, and psoriasis can now be clinically cured. The treatment goal of psoriasis is also to achieve standard treatment, and the treatment effect can reach unprecedented PASI 90 (90% reduction of skin lesions compared with before) or even PASI 100. The cost of biological agent treatment has also been reduced from as high as 110,000 yuan for the initial four-month treatment to several thousand yuan now, and the patient's out-of-pocket payment has been significantly reduced after being included in medical insurance. This is an outstanding achievement of the party, the country, and the majority of medical workers. I wish this event a complete success and pass on effective and standardized treatment methods and disease knowledge to more grassroots units and patients.

Ms. Tian Yu, representative of Novartis Innovative Medicines (China), a corporate partner of the conference, said: Today is World Psoriasis Day, and the theme is Access for All, which is particularly consistent with our philosophy. As a company with a strong sense of corporate responsibility to the country and society, Novartis has established a linkage platform through close cooperation with the National Health Commission and the Medical Association to actively participate in disease science popularization, help specialty construction and capacity improvement, and better benefit patient. We remain true to our original aspirations and are rooted in China's medical industry. In the future, we will continue to use projects such as Qianli Qianxun, Qianxian Wuyin, and Dandelion to improve the diagnostic and treatment capabilities of dermatology departments in third- and fourth-tier cities and county-level hospitals. Deeply support the development of dermatology medical treatment in China, benefit more patients in counties, and realize that common skin diseases "do not leave the county".

Looking forward to the future, we look forward to continuing to work closely with the National Health Commission and the Medical Association to strengthen specialty construction and capacity improvement, expand disease science, improve the diagnosis and treatment capabilities of dermatology in primary hospitals, and deeply contribute to the development of dermatology in China.
