The results of the pilot phase showed the clear effectiveness of this model: the system identified 78 warning signs, thereby verifying and immediately addressing 40 actual epidemic events (typically dengue, hand, foot and mouth disease and environmental health issues).
However, after review, it was determined that management and operations in some departments still face some difficulties in terms of staffing, professional capacity, equipment and funding.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will soon issue specific guidance on activation criteria and required supplies. At the same time, the centers will continue to promote training programs to improve the practical response skills of workers in rapid response teams in health centers.
