Recently, the National Health Commission released data showing that: life expectancy per capita increased to 78.2 years, coverage of eye care and vision screening services for children reached 91.7%, premature mortality from major chronic diseases was lower than the global average, and major health indicators ranked among the top of middle and high-income countries ...... An achievement that is inspiring.
This hard-won achievement vividly demonstrates the value pursuit of people first and life first. Since the launch of the Health China Initiative, China has accelerated the shift from a focus on disease treatment to a focus on people's health, highlighting disease prevention and health promotion, and striving to improve the health and quality of life of the masses. From promoting family doctor contract service, to providing free screening for "two cancers" for rural women, to implementing a nutrition improvement plan for rural compulsory education students, the people's health level has been significantly improved and the quality of life has been significantly improved through a full range of health services. With an eye on the future, we should make further efforts in the construction of a healthy China, continue to guard the health of the people and enhance the health and well-being of the masses.
Continuously guarding people's health, we must give more prominence to "prevention". Prevention is the most economical and effective health strategy. To adhere to the policy of prevention, the gateway to health management forward, strengthen the source of governance, the disease control in the bud before, before it occurs. Specifically, based on the whole population and the whole life cycle two focus points, to provide fair and accessible, systematic and continuous health services. For example, for infants and young children, provide guidance on scientific feeding and growth and development; for adolescents, cultivate sports hobbies and prevent and treat common diseases such as myopia and obesity; for middle-aged and elderly people, strengthen health guidance and intervention for chronic diseases, and so on. Through the integrated management of the various factors affecting health, to minimize the masses of disease.
Continuously guard the people's health, we must pay more attention to "strong grassroots". The key to a solid public health protection network is at the grassroots level. At present, some places still have a relative lack of medical resources at the grassroots level, the human resources are relatively weak and other problems. On the one hand, we must continue to promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources, improve the infrastructure and equipment conditions of grassroots medical institutions, and further promote the equalization of basic public health services. On the other hand, we should strengthen the construction of the talent team, in terms of salary levels, welfare benefits, working environment, business training, personal development and other aspects of good protection, so that family doctors, village doctors and other grassroots medical personnel willing to stay at the grassroots, rooted in the grassroots, to provide the masses with higher quality medical services.
The people's sense of access, happiness and security are inseparable from health. By persistently strengthening health management and consistently optimizing health services, the people's health indicators will definitely get better and better, and the construction level of a healthy China will definitely get higher and higher.
