vulnerabilities of their leading public health organization, the
China CDC program. Nevertheless, once the epidemic ended,
through the Field Epidemiology Training Program, the
government prioritized improvement of CDC processes,
improving public health monitoring and laboratory services, as
well as the workforce-development program. No doubt this
increase in key public-health systems and facilities will be
crucial in the response to the current outbreak of Covid-19.
Nevertheless, an assessment performed in 2012 revealed the
impressive progress made by China CDC since 2002, resulting
in quicker responses to emerging epidemics, with the overall
comprehensiveness of public health services increasing
dramatically from 47.4% to 76.6%.
China CDC has played a critical role in improving the
country’s tiered national public-health system. The agency has
also acknowledged that global disease risks will impact China;
therefore, it is now actively exporting its expertise to help
other developing countries better prepare for and respond to
emerging pathogen outbreaks, including active support for the
2013 epidemic of West Africa’s Ebola virus. C.D.C. teams
also support state health investigations of illnesses, including
contact monitoring, which ensures that anyone who may have
been in touch with an infected person is warned of exposure
and monitored. The research will enhance knowledge of the
virus and how it can be stopped from spreading. C.D.C. teams
have also offered to send experts in public health to China to
help with the testing and containment efforts. The
strengthening of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and
Prevention was a turning point in region outbreak responses.
That reflects very important progress and development for the
security and diplomacy of global health.
Building Hospitals for Corona virus Care and Treatment
China planned the opening of Dabie Mountain Regional
Medical Center, a 1,000-bed hospital, by expediting its
building and opening it to people with corona virus symptoms
in quarantine on 29 January. It is also building a second
quarantine hospital called Leishenshan with up to 1,500 beds
in Wuhan.
