An example of courage and fearlessness

In the earthquake-stricken area with heavy aftershocks, there is a figure of him carrying disinfection equipment on his shoulder in the ruins of rolling stones; In the intensive care unit of new infectious disease cases, he was wearing protective clothing for sampling; In the messy live poultry market, there is his epidemiological investigation to trace the source of the case; In the brightly lit emergency building, he wrote the Emergency Plan for Nanjing Youth Olympic Games all night. In Sierra Leone, West Africa, where Ebola was raging, he carried forward the international humanitarian spirit and fought in the front line of fighting Ebola. He is Huo Xiang, chief physician of Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, born in May, 198 1, party member. In the eyes of leaders and colleagues, he is the backbone of business and the backbone of the unit; In the eyes of media people, he is a young and handsome expert and the "spokesperson" for disease control in Jiangsu. In the face of public health emergencies, he is brave and fearless, always charging ahead and fearless; In the face of business work, he has a plan to lead the work forward with new technologies and methods. First, in the battlefield where there is no smoke in public health, he has the courage to take the lead and make repeated achievements. In 2007, Huo Xiang graduated with "Excellent Master of Jiangsu Province" and entered the Institute of Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control of Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In the "5. 12 Wenchuan Earthquake" in 2008, he volunteered to go to Sichuan to carry out earthquake relief and epidemic prevention work on the third day after the earthquake as a member of the first provincial health rescue team "National Disaster Relief and Health Emergency Team (Jiangsu)". Sleeping outdoors and being bitten by mosquitoes in a simple tent lead to allergic dermatitis all over the body. Even under the unbearable itching, he persisted in his work, risking the dam break of the dammed lake, and went deep into the epicenter to carry out health and epidemic prevention tasks. He was the last player to quit. Seeing the devastated earthquake-stricken area, he choked back tears, professionally instructed the affected people to disinfect drinking water, and helped the people with emotional counseling with kindness. After a month of continuous fighting, the organization transferred him back to rest, but only one week later, he learned that Jiangsu's counterpart support for Mianzhu in Sichuan was about to start, and he offered to go to Sichuan for another month. His hard and selfless work won unanimous praise from the people and leading colleagues in the disaster area, and he was awarded the title of "5. 12 Sichuan Excellent party member for Earthquake Relief and Disease Prevention" by Jiangsu CDC. In 2009, influenza A (H 1N 1) ravaged the world. As the main person in charge of the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases, he left the danger to himself when the virus just entered China and knew little about it, and took the initiative to undertake the sampling and epidemiological investigation of the first batch of suspected cases in our province, ensuring the sampling quality and the flow of first-hand information. During the epidemic period of influenza A (H 1N 1), he took his office as his home, closely monitored the epidemic situation, used advanced statistical models to predict the multi-factor epidemic situation, and participated in the compilation and revision of emergency plans and monitoring plans. The influenza surveillance network in Jiangsu province has achieved a great leap from three cities to all 13 cities, and the monitoring quality ranks first in the country. He made a great contribution. Because of his outstanding achievements, he was awarded the title of advanced individual by Jiangsu CDC. In 20 14, the 2nd World Youth Olympic Games was held in Nanjing, which coincided with new infectious diseases such as Ebola in West Africa and MERS in the Middle East. The risk of imported infectious diseases should not be underestimated. For this reason, Huo Xiang, as a member of the expert group of the Youth Olympic Games, repeatedly explained the typical symptoms including Ebola and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) to the medical staff participating in the Youth Olympic Games during the preparation period, making it possible to find the disease early. During the competition, he traveled between the Youth Olympic Village and the competition venues in hot and humid weather, visited the resident medical staff, learned about the medical treatment of the personnel involved in the Youth Olympic Games, and investigated the suspicious incidence to ensure the health and safety of the Youth Olympic Games.

Jiangsu Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission commended the medical and health protection work of Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. 20151). On 2015, he was selected by the National Health and Family Planning Commission as the first and third experts of the public health teacher training team 16 in China to help West African countries prevent and control Ebola hemorrhagic fever. He resolutely went to Sierra Leone, the country with the worst epidemic in West Africa, to fight Ebola. Among the aid experts from other international organizations such as the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the British Medical Team, the news that someone was infected with the deadly Ebola virus or falciparum malaria did not make him timid in his work. On the basis of strictly observing preventive measures such as hand hygiene, he was bold and cautious and devoted himself to the fight against Ebola. With excellent English communication skills and hard-working spirit, he successfully completed the two-month aid work and successfully contained the Ebola virus in the Sierra Leone community. The strong tropical sunshine made him look like a vest. The wet weather made him get eczema, and long-term high-intensity work was not as important as the Sierra Leonean's "China" in his eyes. Because of his excellent work, he was praised by local health officials and reported by local media many times. He is affectionately known as "Brother China". As a team member, China's aid team against Ebola in Africa was awarded the title of "the most beautiful doctor" by CCTV. During the Chinese New Year in Cyprus, he and other experts who helped Africa fight Ebola boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Evening in the Year of the Sheep to pay a New Year call to the people of the motherland.

Second, study hard in business work and lead the work with innovation. He loves his job, is full of enthusiasm for it, and leads his business work forward with new technologies and methods. During the epidemic period of influenza A (H 1N 1) in 2009, in order to solve the problem of rapid detection of new viruses and ensure early detection, early intervention and early treatment of cases, he and his colleagues worked around the clock, consulted information and independently developed influenza A (H 1N 1). In 20 10, according to the characteristics of influenza epidemic in Jiangsu province, he applied statistical techniques such as season splitting and simple season model to the prediction and early warning of influenza incidence, and achieved good results, accurately described the epidemic characteristics and incidence trend of influenza in our province, and extended this technology to the provincial CDC. In 20 13, he innovatively added the variation factors of influenza virus to the influenza prediction model again, and applied the "decision tree" technology to the prediction of influenza outbreak and epidemic, and achieved good prediction results. This work is funded by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, and the research funding is 200,000 yuan.

Third, find scientific problems in practice and use scientific evidence to guide disease prevention practice. He loves scientific research and strives for perfection in his professional study. He is the main member of the key discipline of epidemiology in Jiangsu Province (project number LJ 20 1 150) approved by the Health Department of Jiangsu Province. 20 12- 13 was sponsored by Ishikawa Medical Scholarship of the Ministry of Health to be a visiting scholar at Tohoku University in Japan for one year to learn and exchange advanced research methods of influenza virus. He is good at finding scientific problems in the practice of disease prevention, using scientific research design, accurate statistical analysis and induction to get scientific evidence, and guiding new disease prevention practice accordingly, making disease control more scientific and reasonable. In the eighth short year since my work, I published 5 professional scientific research papers in internationally renowned magazines included in SCI as the first author and correspondent, with cumulative impact factor of 15. Obtained 2 research projects above ministerial level, including project 1 supported by the Research Fund of the National Health and Family Planning Commission (W20 1303, the first person in charge); Participated in the national natural science foundation project (8 1273 143, main researcher). As a member of the high-tech platform to deal with emerging infectious diseases, he won the second prize of China Medical Science and Technology in 20 14.

In the eyes of others, he is a young expert. Television, internet, newspapers and so on often report interviews with him, answering key and hot infectious diseases and teaching methods of disease prevention and control for the public. However, he knows that the road to disease control is still long, and Xiu Yuan still faces more difficulties and obstacles, but he is not afraid. Becoming a brave and resourceful public health soldier is his lifelong pursuit.
