The building of emergency response capacity for public health emergencies is the key for
countries to deal with major public health security risks. The outbreak of COVID-19 in China and
around the world triggered a major public health safety risk event. The establishment of a public health
emergency management system and the improvement of public health emergency response capacity
have become the key for all countries in the world to deal with major public health security risks. Based
on actual needs, this paper aims to build a well-documented and effective analysis framework for
public health emergency management systems, clarify the basic structure of public health emergency
management systems and the structure of core capabilities, and establish a general dynamic standard
evaluation system. This paper intends to use the macro and micro level data and a variety of methods
system to evaluate and compare the main national public health emergency management system and
the status of the core competence. Based on these work above, this paper analyzes China’s public health
emergency management system and the level of core competence of the state, and therefore identify
the advantage and disadvantages of the Chinese public health emergency management system and the
core competence. Finally, this paper refines and summarizes the experience of public health emergency
management systems in various countries, and build a replicable and generalizable core competence
improvement path in a general sense.
