Specifically, 200 individuals from each of the 21 cities were enrolled. Telephone survey was conducted to acquire residents’ awareness rate, satisfaction and compliance. Technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) was applied to comprehensively evaluate residents’ sensitivity of basic public health services.Results A total of 4 200 community residents who have accepted health managements in basic health care institutions were enrolled.
