Health management requires both small and large prescriptions
2025-05-08
Entering Dongzi Community, Taiping Street, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, what catches the eye is a clear canal surrounded by flowers, plants, and green trees. Some residents are exercising on the fitness trail with their children. At the health square in the middle of the community, the promotion of health knowledge such as chronic disease prevention and control, myopia prevention, and mental health has attracted many residents to stop and learn. Health and hygiene are personal matters as well as national affairs. Today, the patriotic health movement is facing new situations and tasks, and is endowed with new connotations of health promotion. For example, the rate of overweight and obesity among residents is constantly increasing, and there is a large population of chronic diseases. The public has a strong demand for not getting sick and getting sick less frequently. Not long ago, the National Love Health Association issued a notice to include the Healthy Weight Management Action, Healthy Rural Construction Action, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Promotion Action in the Healthy China Action. Highlighting the focus on people's health and shifting from emphasizing environmental sanitation governance to comprehensive social health management is the distinctive background of the patriotic health movement in the new era. Ensuring the health of over 1.4 billion people requires both a "small prescription" for healthcare and a "big prescription" for social governance. Reasonable diet, moderate exercise, smoking and alcohol restriction, and psychological balance are the four cornerstones of health. To achieve these goals, we cannot do without social co construction and co governance. For example, canteens in enterprises, institutions, schools, etc. can use less oil and salt when cooking, and serve meals in moderation; When constructing communities and rural areas, more consideration should be given to the needs of sports and fitness, and the strategy of prioritizing health development should be implemented in practice; Strictly implement smoking bans in public places to prevent secondhand smoke from harming people's health; Continuously operate the 12356 psychological assistance hotline to provide timely relief for negative emotions. In the form of patriotic health movements, promoting the deep integration of health management into social governance can help better build a comprehensive health pattern of multi-party collaborative governance. For example, weight management is the key to addressing diseases caused by overweight and obesity. Last year, the National Health Commission and other departments launched the "Weight Management Year" activity. Governments at all levels, enterprises and institutions, community (village) committees, volunteer organizations, etc. leveraged their respective advantages, continuously innovated work methods, and encouraged more people to pay attention to weight management, thereby reducing the occurrence of chronic diseases. The 'big prescription' of social governance can effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, improve public health services, and create a healthy and livable environment. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health, and health promotion also needs to start with advocating a civilized and healthy lifestyle. The patriotic health movement is a successful practice of applying the mass line to health and disease prevention work, adhering to the leadership of the Party and promoting the participation of the whole people, in order to achieve the best results. For remote areas, especially rural areas, the level of public health literacy still needs to be improved, and health education still has a long way to go. The inclusion of three special actions, namely weight management, rural development, and traditional Chinese medicine, into the Healthy China initiative further highlights the importance of promoting health and integrating medical and preventive measures. Guide the public to have a correct understanding of weight, scientifically manage weight, cultivate healthy lifestyles and scientific medical habits, pay attention to diet, exercise, and emotional regulation, etc., in order to achieve health for all through everyone's participation and responsibility. Further strengthening health education, health promotion, and health science popularization, and promoting the popularization of health knowledge in a way that is popular among the people, is necessary to integrate health management into all aspects of life. The patriotic health movement is a beneficial project to enhance the health and well-being of the people. Better inheriting and carrying forward the fine traditions of the patriotic health movement, and enriching the forms of activities, will certainly promote a stronger sense of health among the masses, a better urban and rural living environment, and better health services, and lay a solid healthy foundation for promoting Chinese path to modernization.
