Relationship between Health Committee and CDC
Judging from the unit level and nature of the two, their functions and powers are very different. The National Health Commission is the functional department of the State Council, and has the right to give orders to the national health work, including guiding the epidemic prevention and control policies in COVID-19.
If the local government fails to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control policies or medical and health work, the National Health Commission has the right to supervise accountability or report, and even interview local government leaders. China CDC is only the competent authority of the National Health Planning Commission, and it is not even a 2 1 department with authority like CDC.
Therefore, CDC has no right to directly supervise local prevention and control policies. However, the members of China CDC are basically academicians in various fields, and their plans, guidelines, monitoring and evaluation of disease prevention and control often play an important role in the decision-making of the National Health Commission.
