Since the reform and opening-up, the living standards and health levels of the Chinese people have greatly improved, and there has been a quiet rise in the trend of learning health science and self-care skills. However, it must be admitted that, on the whole, the scientific and cultural literacy of the Chinese people is still relatively low. Some groups lack self-care awareness, cling to unhealthy lifestyles, and even retain outdated customs. Some pseudo-scientific so-called health functions and methods are still causing harm to people's health in some areas. Therefore, strengthening the popularization and education of health knowledge for the public, promoting scientific spirit, improving the ability to distinguish between science and superstition, civilization and ignorance, progress and backwardness, breaking away from outdated customs, opposing feudal superstition, and promoting the establishment of healthy lifestyles across society remains a long-term and arduous task.
Especially after the fight against SARS in the first half of this year, the public's self-care awareness has greatly enhanced, and there has been a growing trend of learning culture, advocating science, promoting hygiene, and valuing cleanliness. Strengthening public health system construction, health education, and improving people's awareness of disease prevention have become a consensus across society.
To meet the needs of the public and expand health education and publicity, as well as promote the in-depth development of the "Community Health Campaign," the People's Health Publishing House has published the "Essence of the Community Health Campaign Lectures" series. The authors of this series are a group of chief health education experts appointed by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Health. Among them are doctors with rich clinical experience, scholars engaged in long-term nutrition research, and experts who have worked in health management for many years. Their common characteristic is their passion for China's health education and health promotion efforts.
The publication of the "Essence of the Community Health Campaign Lectures" series marks a new phase in the "Community Health Campaign."
