The Planning has 12 chapters and 50 sections. It is proposed that by 2025, a strong public health system that can effectively respond to major epidemics and public health emergencies and basically meet the needs of the public security situation should be basically completed. The high-quality and efficient integrated medical and health service system with Guangdong characteristics should be further improved and finalized, and the overall goal of balancing the allocation of high-quality medical and health resources, homogenizing basic medical and health services, and equalizing basic public health services should be achieved. 19 specific development indicators were identified from six aspects: health level, disease prevention and control, emergency medical treatment, bed and manpower allocation, traditional Chinese medicine services, and key population services. The main plan is to construct the following seven systems:

First, build a strong public health system. Accelerate the streamlining of institutional mechanisms, improve infrastructure, enhance professional capabilities, reform the disease prevention and control system, optimize the monitoring, early warning, and emergency response system, improve the treatment system for infectious disease outbreaks and public health emergencies, strengthen the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and enhance the modernization level of the provincial public health system.

The second is to build a high-quality medical service system. Implement the medical and health construction highland project, focus on the superior resources of high-level hospitals, promote the construction of national medical centers, national regional medical centers, and Guangdong International Medical Center, improve the medical service capacity of cities and counties, promote the coordinated development of social medical services, and promote the expansion of high-quality medical resources and balanced regional layout.
