Medical and health have always been a great concern of the public. With the launch and execution of series policies of medical reform, the medical and health care in Yantai has developed rapidly. The contradiction between supply and demand of health resources has been alleviated to a certain extent, but some new problems have also arisen. The most prominent problem is the difficulty in the development of primary medical institutions. In order to solve this problem, we conducted a field investigation on the primary medical institutions in Yantai, analyzed the reasons behind the current difficulties, and then proposed targeted measures. Because the developmental difficulties of primary medical institutions are common in our country, our solutions and suggestions might have certain reference value for the development of primary medical and health institutions.
