Health care personnel of public and urban child-care institutions were mainly full-time, and health care personnel of private, county and township child-care institutions were mainly part-time. The establishment rate of the health care room was 74. 0%, the establishment rate of the public health care room was higher than that of the private ones.

There are significant differences in the establishment of health rooms and the scores of health facilities in different types of child-care institutions, so we should strengthen supervision and management.
