Show abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the recently emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a serious challenge for the healthcare system worldwide. We collected information, which were posted online as of February 25, 2020, on demographic characteristics of the directors of provincial and municipal health committees in China, and analyzed the education level and medical education background according to geographic region or GPD per capita. We found that the overall information disclosure rate is insufficient (63.39%). The mean age of the directors of provincial and municipal health committee was ~54 years. Among the 277 officials whose information is available, those in economically less-developed regions or remote areas had significantly poorer educational background. Regardless of economic status, the proportion of officials with a background of medical education in most regions was low. This might hinder the efficiency of healthcare and public health administration, which requires personnel with a background of medical training.
