2. The subordinate departments are different. The National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention is a deputy ministerial-level institution managed by the National Health Commission. CDC is an important part of the disease control system in China. After the establishment of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, some people in the industry have analyzed how the Chinese CDC is positioned. It may be merged with the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, or it may remain independent and accept the guidance of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
Significance of establishing National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention;
Academician Zhong Nanshan believes that the COVID-19 epidemic has exposed some shortcomings of China's public health system: the gradual reporting mechanism of emergencies is cumbersome and it is easy to delay the opportunity. The establishment of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention will fill this shortcoming.
The establishment of the new organization means that the function of CDC is no longer simply to prevent and control diseases, but to promote the health of the whole people.
Academician Zhong Nanshan expressed great optimism about the new institution. He hopes that the National CDC can do two things in the future. First, emergencies judged as "emergencies" can be reported directly to the country, saving the time cost brought by reporting at different levels. The second is to supervise some administrative departments and try to avoid misjudgment.
The functions of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention overlap with some original units, some of which have never had functions before. In the future, the national disease control department may face all-round adjustment.
