ObjectiveTo identify the key issues in emergency response to public health emergencies in the Yangtze River Delta region, and to provide a basis for the formulation of relevant policies.MethodLiterature on emergency response to public health emergencies in the Yangtze River Delta region was systematically reviewed and collected, and 18 main problems were identified after collecting and organizing the problems. A questionnaire survey and cluster analysis were used to identify the key issues.ResultsThe study of 18 major problems revealed that "insufficient reserve of emergency medical supplies", "insufficient financial investment to meet the needs of emergency response", "lack of a sound mechanism for the deployment of supplies, resulting in the untimely deployment of materials", were the key issues of emergency response to public health emergencies in the Yangtze River Delta region.ConclusionFuture development of the emergency response system in the Yangtze River Delta region should focus on accelerating the integration process of the Yangtze River Delta, establishing and improving information systems, optimizing the material storage and deployment network, prioritizing the fund investment and utilization mechanism, and improving the effectiveness of public health emergency response.
