中國最高衛生部門上周五表示，去年，我國登記嚴重精神障礙患者540萬例，其中3/4在冊患者患精神分裂癥。

Of the patients, 88.7% are under the management of health authorities, and receive public services such as medical care and living subsidies, said Wang Bin, deputy chief for disease control and prevention at the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

國家衛計委疾病預防控制局副局長王斌表示，88.7%的在冊嚴重精神障礙患者由衛生相關部門進行管理，享受醫療護理、生活補貼等公共服務。

Previous figures released by the commission showed the number of such registered patients was 4.3 million by the end of 2024, with 73.2 percent managed by health authorities.

委員會之前公布的數據顯示，截止2024年底登記在冊的病人人數為430萬，其中73.2%的患者在衛生機構的管理之下。

據王斌介紹，我國在精神衛生服務方面已有所改善；截至2024年年底，我國有精神衛生服務機構近3000家，而2010年，僅1650家機構提供這類服務。

嚴重精神障礙的病人一直在接受改良后的治療服務，比如有規律的后續跟蹤診斷和治療，這些服務遍及全國并由多醫科合作。

王斌稱，衛生相關部門將通過鼓勵頂尖公立醫院為醫務人員進行培訓等方式，提高基層醫院提供精神衛生服務的能力。
