Status of capacity building in disease prevention and control institutions in Hunan Province
Objective To analyze the situation of capacity building of disease prevention and control institutions at city and county levels in Hunan Province,and to provide ideas for construction of public health system and future development of disease prevention and control institutions.Methods We collected the information about the status of financial support,capacity improvement and equipment update in 143 city-,county-and district-level centers for disease control and prevention(CDCs for short)during 2021-2022,and then statistically analyzed.Results During the two-year period,most of the city-,county-and district-level CDCs received funding support from different levels,with Zhangjiajie receiving all financial inputs from the state/provincial level(100%),and Changsha receiving a large proportion of inputs from the county-and district-level(65.52%).The capacities of CDCs in Changsha City and Yongzhou City were mainly improved by expanding items,while improving the qualities and quantities of original projects was more prevalent in Hengyang City and Yueyang City.Changsha purchased the most equipment with the highest amount of money,but Zhangjiajie and Yiyang purchased the equipment at a higher unit price.Whether special funds had been obtained or not(B=-1.843)and whether standardized construction had been assessed or not(B=-2.261)were the factors influencing capacity improvement.Conclusion Increasing fund guarantee and conducting project performance assessment are effective measures to promote the capacity building of disease prevention and control institutions.
