Abstract

Public health emergencies are major infectious disease outbreaks, mass unexplained diseases, major food and occupational poisoning and other events that seriously affect public health that occur suddenly and cause serious damage to the public health of society. In the absence of certain preplanned preparations and experience in emergency response, the outbreak of public health emergencies always catches us off guard and poses a huge challenge and burden to public health and social safety. At present, due to the late start of the emergency management of public health emergencies, the lack of a perfect theoretical system of emergency management, the weak public awareness of emergencies, the lack of scientific emergency measures, the lack of a perfect and flexible public health emergency management system, and the lack of an advanced emergency management level of society as a whole, all of these factors have led to inefficiency, communication and a lack of experience in dealing with public health emergencies such as the new coronary pneumonia outbreak in the early stage. In this context, it is important to take a deeper look at the problems of inefficiency and poor communication in handling public health emergencies. In this context, it is important to examine the current research status of emergency drills for public health emergencies in China, investigate the typical problems, and propose a series of innovative practical strategies for emergency drills for public health emergencies, such as exploring the closed-loop management mode of emergency drills for public health emergencies and giving full play to the role of information technology as a driver of innovation, according to the current development level of China as a whole.
