ABSTRACT
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is an elite force for disease prevention and control, serving as the core force for blocking and contain the epidemic. Which plays a central role in fighting COVID-19 epidemic in China. However, during the process, its also exposed some problems lack of comprehensive capacity building program, fragmented knowledge and skills, epidemiological investigation instrument is outdated, insufficient training on emergency management ability, emphasize investment in infrastructure, equipment and techniques but pay less attention to constantly updating the risk monitoring and alerting system as well as other important coordinating mechanisms, which will affect the well functioning of CDC system. In order to effectively curb the possible rebound of this epidemic and prevent the recurrence of new infectious diseases, we urgently need to reflect and summarize the experience and lessons of this outbreak response, and put forward more targeted policy options for future improvement.Copyright © 2020 Chinese Medical Association.
