Abstract:
Objective:To analyze reverse effects induced in the implementation process of“primary health care strengthening” policies, and the innovative initiatives and countermeasures raised in primary health care system’s comprehensive reform of Feixi county. Method:Based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis ( CDA) , this paper designs its analytical framework for policy analysis. Results:Many reverse effects appeared in the implementa-tion process of “primary health care strengthening” policies. However, through improvements in terms of manpower upgrading, network building, working conditions and management mechanisms, Feixi county has successfully strengthened the capacity building for primary health care institutions. Conclusions:The expected and unexpected re-sults should be evaluated systematically when the policies are being implemented, and local governments need to pro-ceed according to local conditions in order to prevent unintended reverse effects from happening.
