Abstract

To effectively cope with urban public health crisis, the resilience of public health system is critical. With the successful prevention experience of COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan as an example, grounded theoretical method was used to analyze concepts and behaviors of the government, communities, hospitals, media and Non-Governmental Organizations in the prevention and control of the epidemic. 10 main categories and 52 corresponding sub-categories, which reflected system resilience, were identified, including disease surveillance system, epidemic prevention resource management, and collaborative governance capabilities. It is found that public health system resilience can be divided into functional resilience, process resilience and integral resilience. A hierarchical structure model can be constructed to improve its resilience by means of interpretation structure modeling (ISM). And by integrating factors of multiple social subjects, including social epidemic prevention foundation, epidemic prevention technology and culture, and comprehensive governance of epidemic risks for gradual emergency preparedness, the resilience of the urban public health system can be upgraded. © 2022, Editorial Department of China Safety Science Journal.
