Objective To understand the distribution of health administrative penalty cases in Yinchuan,and provide reference for further improving the quality of health supervision and the level of law-based administration.Methods The closed administrative penalty cases handled by health supervision institutions at all levels were collected in Yinchuan from January 1,2019 to December 31,2023.The basic information of the cases,sources of cases,professional fields of cases,and types of penalties were statistically analyzed.Results From 2019 to 2023,a total of 1 872 administrative penalty cases were handled in Yinchuan.The majority of the penalty procedure was ordinary procedure,accounting for 58.97% (1 104/1 872).The main way of fulfilling the penalties was voluntary compliance,accounting for 98.18% (1 838/1 872).The cases were mainly discovered during health supervision and management,accounting for 79.49% (1 488/1 872).The main categories of the cases were public place hygiene and medical hygiene,accounting for 68.29% (1 278/1 872).The types of penalties were mainly warnings and warnings combined with other penalties,accounting for 73.24% (1 371/1 872).Conclusion The number of health administrative penalty cases in Yinchuan has decreased year by year in the past five years.There are problems such as relatively concentrated sources of cases and professional fields of penalty cases,and uneven enforcement in different regions.
