Abstract: Objective To explore the current situation and problems of the pharmacy organization and pharmaceutical services in primary medical and health institutions so as to provide a reference for improving relevant policies. Methods Multi-stage stratified random sampling was used to collect questionnaires from primary medical and health institutions in 5 provinces, and 102 questionnaires were distributed. Then Excel 2016 and IBM SPSS 21.0 software were applied for descriptive statistical analysis, chi-square test and multiple response analysis. Results and Conclusion A total of 92 primary medical and health institutions participated in the survey, and 92 valid questionnaires were recovered. The survey shows that 54.1% of the institutions have established more than 8 pharmaceutical administration regulations. 63.5% and 31.8% of the institutions have formulated pharmaceutical administration and pharmacotherapy team charters (or management systems). 29.7% of institutions have pharmacy personnel in accordance with relevant regulations. The higher proportion of pharmacy services are prescription review and adjustment, medication guidance, collecting and reporting adverse reactions, medication errors and medication hazard information. Primary medical and health institutions still need to further improve their pharmaceutical administration system, organizational structure, pharmacy professional training and clinical pharmacy service.
