Features: The 21st century is marked by a shift in medical models, which inevitably leads to healthcare work changing from a disease-treatment focus to a focus on maintaining and promoting health. It shifts from an individual-oriented approach to a personal and group-oriented approach. It transitions from a hospital-based model to a community-based model. It changes the emphasis from diagnosis and treatment to prevention and health care. It moves from relying on medical technology and healthcare departments themselves to relying on the participation of numerous disciplines and the entire society. In this process, most of it is achieved through self-help with the help of doctors. The implementation of this medical model will undoubtedly bring significant benefits to the health level of the Chinese people, leading life into one bright tomorrow after another.
