Standardization of Basic Public Sports Services for Promoting the Construction of Healthy Country: Foreign Experience and Enlightenment

The policies, features and experience of the standardization of basic public sports services are studied for promoting the construction of healthy country in some developed countries. It indicates that developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan have taken the lead in implementing top-level designs to promote the construction of healthy country through the standardization of basic public sports services, each with its own policy characteristics. They have exhibited such common features as the focus on equalization of rights protection, diversification of governance subjects, and integration of educational institutions and community resources. Their common experiences are mainly reflected in the following aspects: The combination of qualitative descriptions and quantitative requirements in formulating indicators, the integration of government leadership and social participation in policy implementation, the amalgamation of objective measurements and subjective assessments in performance evaluation, and the incorporation of macro-control and micro-regulation in the governance framework. Based on the foreign experiences and current problems of standardization of basic public sports services in China, suggestions are proposed as follows: to refine the formulation of standard indicators to promote the high-quality development of health services, to strengthen the coordinated implementation of standards to advance the continuous enhancement of health protection, to standardize the performance evaluation of standards to facilitate the comprehensive upgrading of health surveillance, and to optimize the execution framework of standards to support the refined governance of health equity, etc.
