人没到场，证就能办？如此形同虚设的竟是事关公共安全的健康证。日前，媒体曝光了一些医疗机构在 办理健康证体检过程中存在的种种违规情况。 此后，郑州、沈阳卫健委相继通报健康证办理乱象，对涉事医院暂停业务立案查处，并依法作出处罚。 众所周知，从事食品生产经营、公共场所服务等行业的人员，必须取得健康证方可上岗。健康证是一道 防火墙，目的在于预防和阻隔传染病流行传播，保障从业者健康和公共卫生。 然而，在一些医疗机构实际操作中，这道防火墙成了闭眼赚钱的生意。有的机构把健康证体检项目肆意 压缩，甚至不到一个小时就能速成。 更有甚者，把检测项目都省掉了，直接选择造假。一些劳务中介、体检中心沦为造假流水线，花钱就能 办理假证并顺利通关外卖平台核验。 北京商报评论员 陶凤 不要小瞧这张纸，健康证作为相关从业人员上岗的标配，近年来需求大涨。 随着家政餐饮外卖等行业发展，不少人涌入服务业。厨师、外卖员、护工、月嫂等职业吸引了越来越多 的劳动者，也让一纸健康证成了个别医疗机构和劳务中介眼中的好买卖。 为了追求经济利益，医疗机构和劳务中介无视最基本的职业操守和道德底线，把健康证办成了一笔笔名 副其实的"健康买卖"。制售假健康证还成为产业 ...

社会治理的"大处方"，能有效调动各方积极性，健全公共健康服务，营造健康宜居环境 走进江苏苏州市相城区太平街道洞字社区，映入眼帘的是一条清渠，四周花草绿树环绕，一些居民带着 孩子在健身步道上锻炼。在社区中间的健康广场，慢病防控、预防近视、心理健康等健康知识宣传吸引 不少居民驻足了解。 保障14亿多人的健康，既要有医疗卫生的"小处方"，也要有社会治理的"大处方"。合理膳食、适量运 动、戒烟限酒、心理平衡是健康四大基石。实现这些目标，离不开社会共建共治。比如，企事业单位、 学校等的食堂做菜可少油少盐，定量盛饭菜；社区和乡村建设时更多考虑运动健身等需求，把健康优先 发展战略落到实处；公共场所严格落实好禁烟条例，防止二手烟损害人们健康；持续办好12356心理援 助热线，让不良情绪及时得到纾解。 以爱国卫生运动的形式，推动健康管理深度融入社会治理，有助于更好构筑多元主体协同治理的大健康 格局。比如，体重管理是应对超重肥胖引起疾病的关键，去年国家卫生健康委等部门启动"体重管理 年"活动，各级政府、企事业单位、社区居（村）委会、志愿者组织等发挥各自优势，不断创新工作方 式方法，促使更多人重视体重管理，从而减少慢病发生。社会治 ...
