Abstract:
Objective:Based on the investigation on the advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)participation in the field of basic public health services,exploring how TCM participates in public health.Methods:It searched for policies related to basic public health services and conducted a questionnaire survey on 2 995 people working in public health-related jobs in Beijing to conduct an empirical study on the advantages of Chinese medicine and the current status of participation.Results:2 982 valid questionnaires were collected,and practitioners in the field of public health services in Beijing had a high level of attention and recognition towards the participation of TCM.TCM is generally considered to have obvious advantages in basic public health services such as responding to epidemics,preventing and treating chronic diseases,and managing the health of Children 0-6 Years and the elderly.However,TCM shows overall shortcomings in emphasis,talent allocation,infrastructure construction,public perception and resource balance.Conclusion:To play the ascendant role and enhance the service capacity of TCM,basic public health services can be further developed by optimizing mechanisms related to the participation of TCM in disease prevention and control,chronic disease management,children's,and elderly health management.Basic public health services can enhance the service capacity of TCM from several aspects such as increasing financial support,strengthening the cultivation and management of TCM talents,and emphasizing grassroots and balanced resource allocation of TCM.
