Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in public health emergencies. Methods: The details of 12 public health events that occurred between January 2021 to December 2022 were analyzed to explore the roles of the CDC. Results: There were 160 patients involved in 10 public health events in 2021 and 48 patients involved in 2 public health events in 2022. Besides, the proportion of school public health events in 2022 was 0%, which was lower than in 2021, which was 80% (P < 0.05). 99.38% of patients during public health events were sent to the hospital promptly in 2022, which was higher than that in 2021, which was 81.25% (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the average time taken for the CDC to control public health events in 2022 was 20.11 ± 1.62 hours, and the average time taken to send inspection reports was shorter than that in 2021. The public satisfaction score was also higher in 2022 compared to 2021 (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The role of the CDC is to control infectious diseases. Therefore, it is important to pinpoint the existing problems in the strategies implemented by the CDC so that more improvements can be made to better prevent infectious diseases.
