In terms of service personnel participating in the project, 9 township-level medical institutions were manned with personnel who could provide diagnosis, intervention planning, and follow-up visits, and only one of them had annual evaluators; village-level medical institutions basically didn′t have diagnosis, intervention planning, and annual evaluation staff. In terms of technical equipments, there was a general lack of diabetes assessment equipment at county, township and village level medical institutions. The mandatory equipments for diabetes assessment was equipped for only 80.0%, 79.0%, and 37.8% of the three levels of institutions, respectively. Village clinics lack hypertension assessment equipment and had no diabetes diagnosis equipment at all.Conclusions:The chronic disease management personnel, equipment, and drug supply in the rural areas of a county in Shanxi province are unbalanced among counties, townships, and villages.
