Preface
Health is an inevitable requirement for promoting the comprehensive development of individuals and is a fundamental condition for economic and social development. Achieving national health and longevity is an important symbol of national prosperity and ethnic rejuvenation, as well as a common aspiration of all ethnic groups in the country.
The Party and the state have always attached great importance to people's health. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, significant achievements have been made in the reform and development of the health sector in our country. The urban and rural environment has improved significantly, the national fitness movement has flourished, the medical and health service system has become increasingly sound, and the health level and physical fitness of the people have continued to improve. By 2015, the average life expectancy in China had reached 76.34 years, with infant mortality, mortality rate for children under five, and maternal mortality rates dropping to 8.1‰, 10.7‰, and 20.1/100,000 respectively, overall better than the average level of middle and high-income countries, laying an important foundation for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. At the same time, industrialization, urbanization, population aging, changes in disease patterns, ecological environment, and lifestyle changes have brought a series of new challenges to maintaining and promoting health. The contradiction between the overall insufficient supply of health services and the continuously growing demand remains prominent, and the coordination between the development of the health sector and economic and social development needs to be enhanced, requiring a comprehensive solution to major and long-term health-related issues from a national strategic level.
Promoting the construction of a Healthy China is an important foundation for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and basically achieving socialist modernization. It is a national strategy to comprehensively improve the health quality of the Chinese nation and achieve coordinated development of people's health and economic and social development. It is also a significant measure to actively participate in global health governance and fulfill international commitments under the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The next 15 years will be an important strategic opportunity period for promoting the construction of a Healthy China. Sustained medium-to-high economic growth will lay a solid foundation for maintaining people's health, while the upgrading of consumption structure will create broad space for the development of health services. Technological innovation will provide strong support for improving health levels, and the maturation and stabilization of various systems will build a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of the health sector.
In order to promote the construction of a Healthy China and improve the health level of the people, this planning outline is formulated based on the strategic deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This planning outline is a grand blueprint and action program for promoting the construction of a Healthy China. The whole society should enhance its sense of responsibility and mission, and make every effort to promote the construction of a Healthy China, contributing more to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the advancement of human civilization.
Part One: Overall Strategy
Chapter One: Guiding Ideology
To promote the construction of a Healthy China, we must uphold the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, fully implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee, guided by Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the "Three Represents," and the Scientific Outlook on Development. We should deeply study and implement the series of important speeches by General Secretary Xi Jinping, closely focus on coordinating the overall layout of the "Five-in-One" and the strategic layout of the "Four Comprehensives," earnestly implement the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, firmly establish and implement the new development concept, and adhere to the correct health and wellness work policy. We should focus on improving the health level of the people, drive reform and innovation in systems and mechanisms, prioritize popularizing healthy living, optimizing health services, improving health security, building a healthy environment, and developing the health industry. We should integrate health into all policies, accelerate the transformation of the development model in the health sector, comprehensively and throughout the life cycle maintain and guarantee people's health, significantly improve health levels, and markedly enhance health equity, providing a solid health foundation for achieving the "Two Centenary Goals" and the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The following principles should be primarily followed:
——Health First. Place health in a strategic position of priority development, based on national conditions, and integrate the concept of promoting health into the entire process of public policy formulation and implementation, accelerating the formation of a lifestyle, ecological environment, and economic and social development model conducive to health, achieving a virtuous cycle of health and economic and social development.
——Reform and Innovation. Adhere to government leadership, leverage the role of market mechanisms, accelerate the reform pace of key links, break through the constraints of ideological concepts, eliminate the barriers of vested interests, remove institutional and mechanism obstacles, and leverage the leading and supporting role of technological innovation and information technology to form a system that promotes national health with Chinese characteristics.
——Scientific development. Grasp the development laws in the health field, adhere to prevention as the main focus, combine prevention and treatment, and balance traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Transform service models, build an integrated medical and health service system, and shift health services from extensive development focused on scale expansion to green and intensive development aimed at improving quality and efficiency. Promote the complementary and coordinated development of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and enhance the level of health services.
——Fairness and justice. Focus on rural areas and grassroots, promote the equalization of basic public services in the health field, maintain the public welfare nature of basic medical and health services, gradually narrow the differences in basic health services and health levels between urban and rural areas, regions, and populations, achieve universal health coverage, and promote social equity.
Chapter Two: Strategic Theme
"Co-construction and sharing, universal health" is the strategic theme for building a healthy China. The core is to center on people's health, focus on grassroots, drive reform and innovation, prioritize prevention, balance traditional Chinese and Western medicine, integrate health into all policies, and implement a health and wellness work policy that is co-constructed and shared by the people. Address health influencing factors such as lifestyle, living environment, and medical and health services, combining government leadership with mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of society and individuals, promoting participation and effort from everyone, and ensuring that everyone enjoys health. Implement prevention as the main focus, promote healthy lifestyles, reduce disease occurrence, strengthen early diagnosis, early treatment, and early rehabilitation, and achieve universal health.
Co-construction and sharing is the fundamental path to building a healthy China. Work from both the supply and demand sides, coordinate social, industry, and individual levels to form a strong synergy for maintaining and promoting health. Promote widespread participation from the whole society, strengthen cross-departmental collaboration, deepen military-civilian integration development, mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of social forces, enhance environmental governance, ensure food and drug safety, prevent and reduce harm, and effectively control ecological and social environmental risk factors affecting health, forming a multi-level and diversified social co-governance pattern. Promote structural reform on the supply side of health services, and industries such as health and family planning, and sports should actively adapt to the health needs of the people, deepen institutional and mechanism reforms, optimize factor allocation and service supply, fill development gaps, promote the transformation and upgrading of the health industry, and meet the growing health needs of the people. Strengthen individual health responsibility, improve the health literacy of the entire population, guide the formation of self-disciplined and health-conscious lifestyles that suit individual characteristics, effectively control lifestyle factors affecting health, and create a social atmosphere that loves health, pursues health, and promotes health.
Universal health is the fundamental goal of building a healthy China. Based on the two focal points of the entire population and the entire life cycle, provide fair, accessible, systematic, and continuous health services to achieve a higher level of universal health. Benefit the entire population, continuously improve systems, expand services, and enhance quality, ensuring that all people have access to necessary, quality, and affordable health services such as prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and health promotion, with a focus on addressing health issues for key populations such as women and children, the elderly, the disabled, and low-income groups.
