The disease control was transferred to the State Bureau of Disease Control for management.

As an important part of the public health system reform since the COVID-19 epidemic in China, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has been concerned since it was listed on May 13th, 2021.

In July this year, China CDC held a cadre meeting, at which the relevant personnel changes were announced: Shen Hongbing served as the director of China CDC, and Gao Fu no longer served as the director of China CDC because of his age. At the same time, the meeting pointed out that China CDC has recently been transferred from National Health Commission to the State CDC for management.

This is another major adjustment of National Health Commission’s internal structure, and it also means that National Health Commission and the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention have a clearer positioning of their functions and responsibilities in disease control.

Some people in the industry have raised concerns about this adjustment. According to the Provisions on Functional Allocation, Internal Organization and Staffing of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention (hereinafter referred to as the "Three-Decision Plan"), the Emergency Disposal Department of the CDC undertakes the work related to the epidemic situation of infectious diseases, organizes the preparation of plans and conducts drills, undertakes the work of emergency system, capacity and team building, and puts forward suggestions on the variety and quantity of relevant emergency materials reserves, as well as opinions on material demand and distribution in emergency situations. Review the emergency plan of provincial disease prevention and control bureau and guide relevant work.

As mentioned above, the Medical Emergency Department of the Health and Health Commission undertakes the construction of the medical emergency system, organizes and guides the medical treatment and emergency medical rescue work of various public emergencies, and there is a certain "coincidence" in the division of labor between them.

Therefore, some insiders said that the implementation of relevant policies may need to break through two difficult problems: First, how to integrate medical prevention; The second is to clarify the responsibilities and rights of CDC, CDC and other units.
