1, authority.
As a national policy, health policy is also the main manifestation of the use of public power. Citizens must unconditionally implement and abide by the requirements of this policy. After the requirements of personal health policy are stipulated by law, health policy shows stereotypes and cultural characteristics. These public health policies must be accepted and understood by citizens in order to maximize their value.
Therefore, it is necessary to carry out strong publicity and education on the public health policies that have been sorted out and guide citizens to correctly understand, accept and absorb this knowledge. It can be seen that public health policy has been placed in a very important position.
2. Extensive sociality and sectarianism.
The main undertakers of health policy are health-related personnel in health departments at all levels. It is because of their existence that a large number of health policies in China can be organized and implemented according to the requirements of the government. This reflects the sectoral characteristics of public health policy. The crowd faced by the staff will always be the same, and it will always be a "society" of different types and sizes.
Facing this "social" crowd, it shows that public health policy has social characteristics.
3, timeliness and stability characteristics.
Every health policy issued by the public health department has time and space constraints, but this does not mean that it is static. If the current situation has changed and does not meet the requirements of the health policy being implemented, the policy at this time is regarded as outdated. This requires health policy makers to have an open mind, and the policies they make can keep pace with the times.
This feature reflects a problem from the side, which needs long-term efforts, and may take a generation or even generations to complete. Therefore, public health policy can maintain its continuity and stability.

Functions of health policy:
1, boot function
This is the most important function of health policy. Health policy can effectively unify the complex, changeable, conflicting and aimless behaviors in the process of health development into a clear development goal, and develop orderly according to the will of health policy makers and the established direction.
2. Coordination function
The values and behavioral motives of health departments, health workers and health service objects at all levels influence each other, so it is possible to coordinate with health policies as a code of conduct. Health needs the coordination of government departments and all aspects of society in order to develop steadily.
3. Control function
The goal of health policy determines the content of health work, and health work is always controlled with the goal of health policy as the center. The clearer, more detailed and comprehensive the work plan around the health policy objectives, the better the control effect of achieving the objectives. The ongoing health reform in China relies on the control of a series of health policies and strategies to ensure the healthy development of the reform.
4. Distribution function
The purpose of the government's health policy is to improve the efficiency of the use of health resources and reflect the fairness of health services. The distribution function of health policy should solve three problems every month: to whom, how and what is the best distribution. Health resources are limited, and it is impossible to meet everyone's needs at any time.
Every interest group wants to get as much benefit as possible from limited resources, which will inevitably lead to conflicts of interest. Therefore, health policies are needed to adjust the interests of all parties.
