Features: Life and health are the most precious treasures in life. Health and disease are issues that the entire society pays close attention to, as they are closely related to the personal interests of every individual and family. Leaders of the Ministry of Health and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine attach great importance to this topic that concerns the whole society. They have established a health work policy that prioritizes prevention over treatment, rather than merely focusing on treating illnesses when they occur. In 2000, to actively implement a series of instructions from General Secretary Jiang Zemin advocating science and vigorously promoting the popularization of scientific knowledge, as well as the spirit of the speech by Vice Premier Li Lanqing at the national television conference on health education for 900 million farmers, a medical knowledge popularization campaign titled "Healthy Homes—Medical Science Popularization for Ten Years" was meticulously organized and planned. To ensure the campaign was vibrant and impactful, Minister Zhang Wenkang not only personally served as the director of the campaign's organizing committee but also personally organized and edited the educational materials for the campaign—the Health Education Series. The series consists of 78 volumes, introducing general knowledge about nearly 100 common diseases, disease signals, family healthcare, medication dos and don'ts, and other prevention and treatment knowledge, while providing patients with information related to their specific conditions. The aim is to improve the health and physical fitness of the entire nation and deliver health knowledge to every family. To guarantee the scientific rigor, authority, practicality, and accessibility of this series, the organizing committee invited several academicians and engineering academicians from the medical field to personally review and serve as members of the review committee. Publishing this series is our publisher's responsibility. To ensure the series remains vibrant and enduring, we plan to revise it regularly so that every family can frequently obtain new knowledge about disease prevention and treatment, enabling everyone to enjoy good health.
