Medical Workers
After the outbreak of COVID-19, a vast number of medical workers bid farewell to their loved ones and went in harm's way. As warriors in white, they devoted every effort to save patients. Xi Jinping spoke highly of the medical workers on the front line, calling them "the most admirable people" in the new era, messengers of brightness and hope, the most beautiful angels, and true heroes.
Xi Jinping made instructions on different occasions about the care for the medical workers fighting against the epidemic. He emphasized that medical workers are the backbone in beating the epidemic, and they shall be well protected and given full support. The front-line medics shall have access to sufficient protective equipment and daily necessities, and have off-days in rotation and psychological counseling. The pay package, additional subsidies and epidemic prevention allowances for the medical staff should be fully delivered, their worries be lifted, and incentive mechanism be further improved, so that they will stay strong and healthy to fight the epidemic.
During the anti-epidemic combat, the PLA, central ministries and commissions, provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government altogether dispatched more than 340 medical teams consisting of over 42,000 healthcare workers to aid Hubei. As the conditions turned for the better, the medical teams completed their mission and withdrew in an orderly manner. A poster depicting the back of "soldiers in white" with the words "Thank you for fighting for us" went viral on the internet, as it voiced the heartfelt gratitude of the people of Wuhan and Hubei.
廣大醫務工作者
新冠肺炎疫情發生后,廣大醫務工作者毅然告別家人,白衣執甲、逆行出征、全力救治患者,展現了救死扶傷、醫者仁心的崇高精神。習近平在武漢考察時對奮戰在一線的醫務工作者給予高度評價,稱贊他們是新時代最可愛的人,是光明的使者、希望的使者,是最美的天使,是真正的英雄!
習近平多次作出重要指示,對參與疫情防控工作的醫務人員送去關愛和鼓勵。他強調,醫務人員是戰勝疫情的中堅力量,務必高度重視對他們的保護、關心、愛護。要關心關愛一線醫務人員,落實防護物資、生活物資保障和防護措施,統籌安排輪休,加強心理疏導,落實工資待遇、臨時性工作補助、衛生防疫津貼待遇,完善激勵機制,盡心盡力幫助他們解除后顧之憂,使他們始終保持昂揚斗志、旺盛精力,持續健康投入抗疫斗爭。
據統計,抗疫期間,人民解放軍、中央和國家部委、各省區市共派出340多支醫療隊、42000余名醫務人員馳援武漢。隨著疫情防控形勢逐步轉好,完成救助任務的各地馳援醫療隊將分批離開武漢、平安歸家。一張描繪著“白衣戰士”背影、寫著“謝謝你們,為我們拼過命”的海報刷屏網絡,道出了湖北和武漢人民的真切心聲。
