What far-reaching impact will a series of top-level designs to improve people's health and well-being have on China's economic and social development and progress? Where is the biggest difficulty in building a healthy China and how to solve it? During the "High-end Forum of Healthy China for All People", our reporter interviewed Hu Angang, President of the National Studies Institute of Tsinghua University. Reporter: What does the overall improvement of people's health level mean for the modernization process of China? Hu Angang: The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts forward that "health is an inevitable requirement to promote people's all-round development". Health is the key to human life, the foundation of all-round development and the greatest wealth of all people, which is of great practical and long-term significance to China.
At present, China's population has reached nearly1400 million, and the improvement of everyone's health indicators will form a huge healthy human capital. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the expected goal of increasing life expectancy per capita by 1 year was put forward for the first time, and the actual result increased by 1.5 years, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 2 billion person-years in the total amount of healthy human capital in these five years. It should be said that the improvement of health level will have a direct and far-reaching impact on China's modernization process. Reporter: As the co-drafters of Healthy China 2030 and National Fitness Program (20 16-2020), what innovations do you think these measures have and what far-reaching impact will they have on national health and economic and social development? The outline and planning are based on the whole life cycle, the whole population coverage, the whole process, the whole population and the overall situation of modernization, and promote the all-round development of China's health undertakings. Compared with the world, these measures are obviously innovative. "Healthy China" and "National Fitness" fully embody the people-centered development concept, which indicates that we have shifted from blindly pursuing economic growth goals to paying more attention to people's well-being, especially health and well-being. The promulgation of the "Outline" and "Plan" will improve the health quality and level of the whole people, reduce people's health risks, and make all people have more sense of acquisition and happiness; Health investment will generate direct dividends, promote economic growth and create a large number of employment opportunities; It will stimulate people's enthusiasm and creativity and improve the labor productivity of the whole society. In addition, the promulgation of the "Outline" and "Plan" also provides a useful reference for other developing countries to promote national health through national development planning.
