Abstract

This study examines the current status of family doctor contracted services for children aged 0-6 years in four community health service centers in Wenzhou, within the context of Wenzhou’s initiative to establish a child-friendly city. The findings indicate issues such as insufficient awareness of contracted services, limited promotion channels, suboptimal utilization rates, and a need for more targeted service content. Recommendations aiming to solve them include diversified promotional approaches, enhanced allocation of grassroots medical resources and skills of physicians, and ongoing updates to service packages. These insights serve as valuable references for Wenzhou to formulate more targeted policies and achieve high-quality development in family doctor contracted services for children.
