Abstract:
ObjectiveTo assess the capacity of health emergency drills for poisoning emergencies at the municipal level in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 21 municipal teams from cities in Guangdong Province participated in the health emergency drill competition, which included comprehensive tests and practical assessments. Results The pass rate for the total score, comprehensive tests, practical assessments of 21 municipal teams was 66.7%, 33.3%, 66.7%, respectively. The pass rate of the comprehensive tests was lower than that of practical assessments (P<0.01). The pass rate for the total score, comprehensive tests, and practical assessments of team from the Pearl River Delta region was higher than those in non-Pearl River Delta regions (88.9% vs 50.0%, 55.5% vs 16.7%, 88.9% vs 50.0%). For the four comprehensive test items, the highest pass rate was for personal protective principles against chemical poisoning (57.1%). For the five practical assessment items, the highest pass rate was for the selection and matching of personal protective equipment and practice of poisoning detection (both 71.4%). Conclusion It is urgent to improve the capacity of health emergency drills at the municipal level in Guangdong Province. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening capacity building in teams from non-Pearl River Delta regions.
