健康中国2030 (jiànkāng zhōngguó 2030): Healthy China 2030

(China Daily) Updated: 2016-08-30 07:27

At a conference on Friday, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee reviewed and approved the plan for a Healthy China 2030.

The conference concluded that health is a necessary prerequisite for the overall development of the people, as well as the foundation for the sustainable development of the society.

China has been raising people's living standards, but new challenges to a healthy society, such as the aging population and environmental pollution, have also emerged. The plan is a general guideline document for promoting people's health in the coming 15 years. It stresses that health should be combined into all major policies, such as fighting environment pollution and improving the nation's healthcare provision.

The emphasis should be on disease prevention and encouraging people to adopt healthy lifestyles. The public health service system should be adjusted and improved, so that ordinary residents will have their health problems diagnosed earlier and so get earlier treatment.

The various levels of government should pay ample attention to the issue and take their own measures to ensure people's health.
