Three experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center on Community Safety Promotion took a tour and inspected Huamu sub-District yesterday, the first of its kind in the city. The area is attempting to join the WHO Safe Community Network (SCN).
The inspection results will decide whether or not the Huamu sub-District in Pudong New Area can join the international SCN.
Establishing safe communities was listed in the city's 11th Five Year Plan (2006-2010). In June last year, Huamu Sub-district officially kicked off the pitch to become a SCN.
The safe community, proposed by the WHO in 1989, focuses on prevention against all kinds of harms, especially for high-risk and vulnerable groups, and high-risk environments.
