Features: Life should be rich in health and vitality. Health and disease are issues of great concern to the whole society, as they affect every individual and family. Leaders of the Ministry of Health and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine attach great importance to this topic of widespread concern. They have established a health policy that prioritizes prevention over treatment, emphasizing the prevention of illness rather than merely treating it. In 2000, to actively implement the spirit of Comrade Jiang Zemin's directives advocating science and vigorously promoting the popularization of scientific knowledge, as well as the speech by Vice Premier Li Lanqing at the national television conference on health education for 900 million farmers, a well-organized and meticulously planned medical knowledge popularization campaign titled "Healthy Homes—Medical Science Popularization for a Million Homes in 10 Years" was launched. To ensure the campaign was vibrant and impactful, Minister Zhang Wenchang not only personally served as the director of the campaign's organizing committee but also personally organized and edited educational materials for the campaign—health education booklets. The series consists of 78 sub-books, introducing general knowledge about nearly 100 common diseases, disease signals, home care, medication dos and don'ts, and other preventive measures. It also provides patients with information related to their specific conditions. The aim is to improve the health and physical well-being of the entire nation, delivering health knowledge to every family.
