Abstract:

Objective To systematically assess the equipment configuration status of grassroots infectious disease emergency teams across all 16 districts of Tianjin Municipality，identify key deficiencies，and promote the standardization，practicality，and balanced distribution of equipment. This aims to narrow the capability gaps among regions and enhance the overall quality and efficiency of the city's grassroots emergency response. Methods Based on the "Guidelines for the Construction of Municipal and County-Level Grassroots Infectious Disease Emergency Teams（2023 Edition）" issued by the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration， a three-level evaluation index system was established，focusing on completeness（60%），standardization（30%），and timeliness（10%）. A full-coverage on-site inspection and sample verification of materials were conducted on all 16 emergency teams in Tianjin in June 2025. The inspection covered 3 major categories and 106 types of equipment，evaluated across four dimensions：quantity，specifications，labeling，and expiration date validity. Results The coverage rate was highest for team identification and labeling equipment（96.18%） and lowest for specialized operational equipment（91.51%）. In the outer suburban districts（Ninghe，Jizhou，Jinghai，Wuqing and Baodi），the average coverage rates for the three equipment categories were only 79.10%，79.10%，89.55%，88.06%，and 88.06%，respectively. The citywide average qualification rate for equipment expiration dates was 64.16%. Conclusion The grassroots emergency teams in Tianjin face three major issues：structural shortages of professional equipment，severe imbalance in configuration favoring outer suburban districts，and inefficient management of material expiration dates. Recommendations include optimizing equipment allocation，strengthening standardization and information-based management，enhancing governmental financial support and social donation channels to promote the long-term stable development of the public health emergency response system.
