Societal determination of usefulness and utilization wishes of community health services: a population-based survey in Wuhan city, China

Conclusion The aim of CHS to see ‘minor illnesses treated in the community and serious illness treated in hospital’ is not being fully realized. The key to increasing the use of CHS may be to enhance the quality of services and health staff. A policy pathway of targeting older residents and those with higher education levels as the priority population, and using these groups to encourage the rest of the community to seek minor services at CHS, may be an effective and sustainable development mechanism.
