This year, the Shanghai health department will initiate a three-year
program to build Shanghai into a healthy city.
The city will strengthen local
disease prevention and health education for residents, conduct long-term control
and prevention of chronic diseases, and focus on acute infectious diseases such
as SARS and bird flu.
Local communities, residents and schools will be
encouraged to play an active role in the program.
In a bid to provide
scientific grounds for the local health services, the city will also perfect the
community health monitoring network by developing an implementation plan to
supervise the main health indices in the city this year
Shanghai will
promote health and legal knowledge this year and improve the local environment
to enable local citizens to live a healthy life.
