Abstract: Noninfectious Chronic diseases(NCD) are characterized by high prevalence rate with complicated etiology and difficult treatment, which threaten the health of Chinese community residents and cause the waste of medical resources. In China, general practitioners(GPs) are responsible for the responsibility of diagnosis and management of NCD in primary health care, and play an important role in providing and coordinating medical services for NCD patients. Based on SWOT analysis, we discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of GPs in the diagnosis and mangement of NCD under the current conditions and social environment, and explores specific and efficient strategies to improve the ability of GPs and promote the quality of primary health care.
