With the development of the social economy and the intensification of population aging, residents’ demand for health services is increasing, particularly for chronic disease management and personalized medical services. Family doctor contract services, as a primary healthcare service model, aim to provide residents with continuous and comprehensive health management services. Family doctors are already quite common in foreign countries, but in China, this system is still in its initial stage. Although some achievements have been made, there is still a significant gap compared with developed countries. This paper focuses on the theme of family doctor team service capacity building, conducting extensive investigation and in-depth analysis of the main dilemmas and problems currently faced in this process, such as insufficient core team competencies, inadequate support mechanisms, low coordination efficiency with higher-level hospitals, and insufficient resource support. Targeted countermeasures and suggestions are proposed accordingly. The purpose is to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for further improving the service capacity of family doctor teams, enhancing the attractiveness of contract services, and strengthening the foundation of primary healthcare service networks.
