SWOT analysis of public health commission of Beijing village(neighborhood) committee / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

In the process of preventing and controlling the COVID-19, China′s system of community-level governance has achieved remarkable results. The authors focused on the public health committee of Beijing village(neighborhood) committee, using a semi-structured interview survey and literature search to collect relevant information and conducted a SWOT analysis of the public health committee. The strengths of the public health committee and the priorities and difficulties of its development were explored. The analysis results showed that the main strengths and opportunities of the public health committees were the promotion of its development, while the main problems and challenges were the lack of appropriate operational mechanisms, inadequate staffing, and the lack of retention of staff due to an inadequate remuneration system. In order to reduce the fragmentation of community public health governance, it is necessary not only to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, but also to promote positive interaction between social governance and residents′ self-governance, and to form a good pattern of joint construction, governance and sharing, as well as to improve the professionalism of public health committee staff and improve the salary allocation system, so as to ensure that the committee can play its role as a " bridge and link" .
