Survey on the Status Quo of Emergency Response Capabilities of Public Health Emergencies in Grassroots Disease Control Institutions in a Certain Area

Abstract

Objective: To survey and study the emergency response capabilities of grassroots disease control institutions in a certain area for public health emergencies, and to put forward suggestions for rectification. Methods: The study was carried out from March 2022 to March 2023. Field surveys, questionnaire surveys, and interviews were used to investigate and analyze the emergency response capabilities of public health emergencies in 5 county Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) in the region. Results: Through the survey, it was found that the professional level of the existing emergency team personnel of the grassroots disease control institutions in this region needs to be improved. There was an overall lack of emergency plans, and the compliance rate of the equipment, inspection, and testing items was low. The health emergency system of the CDCs in the region and the ability of the talent team need to be further improved. Conclusion: The emergency response capacity of grassroots disease control institutions in this region needs to be improved. For this reason, government departments need to increase investment and strengthen the construction of talent teams and hardware settings, and grassroots disease control institutions need to strengthen the construction of the public health emergency system to improve the ability to respond to public health emergencies.
