Abstract:
The quantity and quality of rural public health service personnel are crucial for ensuring the health of rural residents.However,there are current challenges including insufficient personnel quantity and professional competence,severe talent loss,and low levels of rural public health services.The main reasons behind these challenges include insufficient financial investment,an imperfect salary system,inadequate performance evaluation mechanisms,and uneven resource allocation.In 2023,the National Health Commission and other departments jointly initiated anti-corruption efforts in the medical field while deepening healthcare system reforms.These reforms focus on strengthening the public health system,especially in rural and community areas,and revamping grassroots salary structures with an emphasis on decoupling salaries from revenue generation.However,specific measures for financial security of rural health personnel have not been clearly outlined.To bring in and retain rural health personnel,the financial security mechanism needs to be improved.It is recommended to increase financial investment by expanding budget allocations,implement a"dossier system"with salaries paid directly to individuals'accounts from municipal or county-level budgets,refine the salary system,reform performance evaluation mechanisms,raise overall remuneration,rationalize the allocation of resources,enrich health talents and encourage retired doctors to settle in rural areas.By gradually improving the financial security mechanism for rural public health service personnel,sustainable development of rural public health services can be achieved.
