It is one of the first batch of characteristic towns in Jiangsu Province. 70% of the city’s medical equipment companies gather here. There are more than 600 production and operating medical device companies in total, and nearly 10,000 medical device product marketing personnel abroad.

 

"The virus challenges the immune function of the human body. The epidemic is testing the organization and command system of the first-level party committee and government." Touqiao Town has pioneered the "Samsung Control Law" to prevent and control the epidemic. The town conducts star-level management of the epidemic control objects in its jurisdiction, which are divided into three stars according to their own conditions. One star adopts the methods of WeChat transmission, neighbor report, and grid check, and two stars and three stars are listed as "double check". Subjects, in addition to the one-star management requirements, medical staff from the health service center will come to conduct medical testing and disinfection. Grid staff will check once every morning and afternoon, and WeChat will report twice a day.

 

Facing the big test of epidemic prevention and control and economic development, the town spared no effort to ensure the resumption of production of medical equipment enterprises. They concluded the "12345" work method. "1" is a "Resumption of Work Approval Form". The actual production content and the number of employees of the company must be clearly written. "2" means "two passes", and employees must hold ID cards and passes to enter and exit the factory. "3" is the "three things": take your body temperature, wear a mask, and eliminate poison. "4" refers to the "four parts", focusing on the four important parts of prevention and control gates, workshops and office areas, dormitories, and canteens. "5" means "five in place" to ensure that the responsible person is in place, the plan is in place, the materials are in place, the production safety is in place, and the publicity is in place. This "12345" work method was later promoted throughout the district.
