Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) The flu season is currently in full swing. To improve testing efficiency and reduce cross-infection, several medical institutions, including Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, the Third People's Hospital of Bengbu City, Anhui Province, and Chongqing Women and Children's Health Hospital, have launched home-based respiratory pathogen testing services, allowing residents to complete testing at home.
Beijing Ditan Hospital recently partnered with JD Health to launch a "3-Hour Nurse Home Visit Rapid Respiratory Pathogen Testing" service, covering seven respiratory pathogens including influenza A and influenza B viruses. This makes it the first public hospital in Beijing to achieve a fully closed-loop home-based respiratory pathogen testing process, encompassing "order placement—sampling—reporting—treatment." Leveraging its professional medical resources, Beijing Ditan Hospital seamlessly integrates nurse home sampling, authoritative in-hospital testing, and subsequent treatment guidance, providing test reports within 3 hours, with real-time progress tracking. After receiving the report, patients can initiate online consultations with professional medical services from doctors at Beijing Ditan Hospital, enabling them to receive comprehensive medical care without leaving home. The hospital will also expand its services to include home visits for elderly patients with chronic diseases and hepatitis B follow-up examinations. (People's Daily)
