ABSTRACT Objectives: Collaboration and cooperation are critical for public health management. Nevertheless, collaboration and cooperation between government departments, as well as other entities, are still in a weak condition in China. This article analyzes the status of collaboration and cooperation in the management of public health services in China and explores the problems and gives strategic suggestions for strengthening collaboration and cooperation in the development of public health service systems in China, in order to provide a reference for improvement of public health management in the future. Methods: This study uses a qualitative case study approach, including documents review, in-depth interview, and focus group. Results: The main problems of collaboration and cooperation in public health service management in China include problems of effective collaboration and cooperation between institutions and relevant departments, public information platform, and implementation of public health and health promotion. On this basis, several relevant policy recommendations are put forward. Conclusions: Collaboration and cooperation are critical for the overall coordination and sustainable development of public health in China, and there is still work to be done in order to achieve appropriate cooperation and collaboration between different entities in the provision of public health services.

The cigarette tax is applied in the province of North Sulawesi in 2014. Cigarette tax is a regulate tax that is specific to the health, then the purpose of applying cigarette tax is to protect the public against the dangers of cigarettes. Therefore, cigarette tax in earmarking tax policy is allocated at least 50% for public health service. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of earmarking tax of Cigarettes tax to public health services in North Sulawesi Province has been in accordance with applicable legislation. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study can be seen that for the year 2016, earmarking tax policy of tobacco tax has not been applied in accordance with the appropriate. This is because spending on public health efforts has not reached the minimum value of 50% of tax revenues for provinces. Earmarking tax in North Sulawesi province runs with revenue and expenditure budget system (APBD), which is implemented through the regional public treasury account (RKUD) in terms of income and expenditure. Dinas Kesehatan as an agency that budgeted for public health effort would improve public health service standard by maximizing spending for the designation. Agencies related to the cigarette tax budgeting policy would prescribe standard operating procedures so that control over these policies can be done as appropriateKeywords: Earmarking tax policy, cigarette tax

Essential Public Health Services

Abstract BackgroundProviding essential public health services equally to all Chinese is one of the objectives of health system reform since 2009. Essential public health service program is to provide a package of public health services for all Chinese freely by the primary health institutions. Since the implementation of the national essential public health service program, the level of funding and the intensity of input have been continuously increasing. However, in the context of China’s economic development entering a new normal phase, the growth rate of funding for essential public health services has far exceeded the growth rate of GDP and central fiscal revenue, and the sustainability of the development of national essential public health service programs has been seriously challenged. Improving the efficiency of resource use may be an effective way to ensure the continuation of the national essential public health service program. But little evidence was available about technical efficiency in essential public health services provision. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong province.Methods This study was a retrospective study based on the historical panel data of Shandong Province, East China. The data came from the Shandong Provincial Essential public health Service Program Database of the Medical Management Center of Shandong Provincial Health Commission, which covered all 137 counties and districts in 16 cities of Shandong Province from 2014 to 2019. The principal component analysis method was used to classify multiple output indicators of essential public health service programs, so as to achieve the purpose of generic index extraction. The efficiency coefficient transformation analysis method was used to transform the data of each principal component score after the principal component analysis of the input index of essential public health service programs. The CCR model and BBC model in the Data Envelopment Analysis （DEA） method were used to calculate the comprehensive technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of essential public health services.ResultsThe average comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province showed a slight downward trend from 0.8896 in 2014 to 0.8753 in 2019. The average pure technical efficiency of essential public health services was kept at 0.99. The average scale efficiency of essential public health services showed a slight downward trend from 0.8871 in 2014 to 0.8744 in 2019. The proportion of counties and districts with the comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province was increased from 15.3% in 2014 to 21.9% in 2019. But the proportion of counties with the pure technical efficiency decreased from 38.0% in 2014 to 35.9% in 2019. The proportion of counties with scale efficiency of essential public health services showed an upward trend, rising from 14.8% in 2014 to 22.6% in 2019, increasing by 7.8%.The ratio of effective comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province to all counties and districts has shown a upward trend. Among them, the proportion of counties with effective pure technical efficiency was higher than the proportion of counties with efficient scale efficiency each year. At the same time, the increase in the proportion of counties with effective scale efficiency was higher than the increase in the proportion of counties with effective pure technical efficiency. The increasing proportion of effective counties in the comprehensive technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province was mainly due to the increasing proportion of effective counties in the scale efficiency and the good performance of effective counties in the pure technical efficiency. This showed that, although the investment scale of Shandong Province in the counties was gradually sufficient, there was still a phenomenon of insufficient resource investment in most counties. That would ultimately affect the sustainability of the implementation of essential public health services.Conclusion The research have demonstrated that the technical efficiency of essential public health services in Shandong Province has shown a slight downward trend, and the main reason for its downward trend was the decline in scale efficiency. The scale efficiency in essential public health services affected the technical efficiency and would ultimately threaten the sustainable development of essential public health services. It is recommended that future research directions should focus on the influencing factors and improvement measures of the scale efficiency of essential public health services.

Abstract:With environmental health receiving increased attention by Public Health Services, there is a need to access as efficiently as possible detailed, current, and reliable information of physico-chemical, epidemiological, and toxicological as well as regulatory and legal aspects on this subject. Correspondingly, targets 19 and 35 of WHO’s “Health for all 2000” strategy all for information systems to meet these demands. On this basis, a Noxious Agents Information System (NIS) was designed with three components: PC-based information workstations allowing access to portable and online databases; a dedicated modular database system providing “immediate answers” as well as support for more comprehensive information retrieval; and a cooperative network for training, information exchange, and consultation. During 1992-93, the system was introduced in Germany in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, and 54 of 59 eligible institutions (92%) of the Public Health Service decided to participate, proving a virtually state-wide introduction to be feasible. Details are presented of the NIS concept and its realization, and limitations and future perspectives are discussed.
