Abstract

Cardiac arrest (CA) usually occurs out of hospitals, comprising approximately 50% of all cardiovascular deaths, which may delay achievement for Healthy China 2030 goals for life expectancy and premature death from major chronic diseases. In this review of Chinese law and health policy, challenges and opportunities are explored for CA prevention and control. A considerable gap would remain even if the CA target in Healthy China 2030 are to be achieved on schedule. Therefore, CA should be included in the national disease prevention and control system and national projects, such as the Healthy Cities Initiative and the Primary Public Health Services to accelerate population-wide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training and Automatic External Defibrillation availability. Principles of CA prevention and control should be integrated into all relevant policies.
