Features: Life and health are the most precious treasures in life. Health and disease are issues of great concern to the entire society, as they affect every individual and family directly. 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 when it occurs. 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 medical knowledge popularization campaign titled "Healthy Homes—Medical Science for Every Family in 10 Years" was meticulously organized and planned. To ensure the campaign's vibrancy, 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, home care, medication dos and don'ts, and other preventive and treatment knowledge, while providing 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. 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 enduring and up-to-date, we plan to revise it regularly, enabling every family to frequently access new knowledge on disease prevention and treatment, so that all may enjoy health.
