On January 5, 2022, the general office of the State Council issued the notice of the national disability prevention action plan (2021-2025). Put forward action objectives and plans from five aspects: action to popularize disability prevention knowledge, action to prevent and control disability caused by birth defects and developmental disorders, action to prevent and control disability caused by diseases, action to prevent and control disability caused by injuries and action to promote rehabilitation services.
The importance of rehabilitation in disability prevention was further enhanced
According to the data of the second national sample survey of the disabled, the acquired disability accounts for about 75%, and the importance of rehabilitation in the prevention of disability is further improved. The policy proposes to “strengthen the popularization of disability prevention knowledge among key groups, strengthen the publicity and popularization of rehabilitation knowledge for the injured and disabled, and strive to improve the awareness and ability of rehabilitation.” According to the data from the first and second national sample surveys of disabled persons, from 1987 to 2006, the total number of disabled people in China increased from 51.64 million to 82.96 million, accounting for 6.34% of the total population from 4.9%.
In terms of the causes of disability, about 10% of China’s disabled population are congenital disabilities, about 75% are acquired disabilities, and 15% are of unknown causes. Among the acquired disability, the number of disability caused by chronic non communicable diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes accounts for more than 70%. Followed by trauma and injury disability, accounting for about 16%, and infectious disease disability accounts for about 12%. Chronic diseases, accidental injuries, birth defects and developmental disabilities constitute the main causes of disability in China, of which chronic diseases account for about 55%.
From the age of disability, people face different disability risks in different life cycles. The data of the second national sample survey of the disabled show that the main causes of disability of children aged 0-6 are birth defects and other congenital factors; The main causes of disability of school-age children aged 6-14 are infectious diseases and accidental injuries; The main causes of disability among the working age group aged 15-59 are accidental injuries mainly caused by industrial injuries and traffic accidents; With the increase of age, the proportion of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and so on increased. The old people aged 60 or above were mostly disabled due to chronic diseases and senile functional decline. “Rehabilitation service promotion action” is one of the five actions. It re emphasizes the work objectives of “strengthening rehabilitation medical services” and “rehabilitation service promotion action”. It is proposed that by 2025, the number of rehabilitation doctors per 100000 population will reach 8, the coverage rate of basic rehabilitation services for the disabled will be increased to 85%, and the adaptation rate of assistive devices for the disabled will be increased to 85%.
In view of strengthening rehabilitation medical services, the policy was further put forward, “Implement the opinions on accelerating the development of rehabilitation medical work issued by the eight departments, improve the ability of rehabilitation medical services, strengthen the education and training of rehabilitation medical talents, actively develop community and home rehabilitation medical services, and encourage qualified medical institutions to extend their rehabilitation medical services to communities and families.”
In view of “ensuring the basic rehabilitation services for the disabled”, it is proposed to “continuously organize and implement the precise rehabilitation services for the disabled, and provide the disabled with basic rehabilitation services such as rehabilitation medical treatment, rehabilitation training and rehabilitation auxiliary equipment configuration.”
Investment view
As one of the five actions, the “rehabilitation service promotion action” has further enhanced the importance of rehabilitation in disability prevention, and the policy once again emphasizes “strengthening rehabilitation medical services”. We believe that the rehabilitation industry is still in its infancy, the awareness and importance of rehabilitation have been continuously improved, and there are investment opportunities in rehabilitation services ( Ningbo Sanxing Medical Electric Co.Ltd(601567) ) and rehabilitation equipment ( Xiangyumedicalco.Ltd(688626) , Nanjing Vishee Medical Technology Co.Ltd(688580) ), It is recommended to pay attention to Beijing Chieftain Control Engineering Technology Co.Ltd(300430) .
Risk warning: the policy implementation is not as expected; The risk of intensified market competition; The operation of the company is not as expected
