How to further improve residents' health literacy
When talking about "how to further improve residents' health literacy", Mi Feng, spokesman of National Health Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department, said that on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the national health science database and expert database, on the other hand, it is necessary to closely cooperate with relevant departments, establish a mechanism for publishing and disseminating health science knowledge, and rely on professional strength to strengthen standardization and guidance. In particular, experts will be organized to clarify and correct false information that has a wide spread and harms public health.
"You don't move, I don't move, how can health be promoted?" Mi Feng said that from the perspective of individuals and families, I hope that through extensive publicity, everyone can fully realize that improving health literacy means keeping themselves and their families from getting sick, getting sick less, getting sick late and getting seriously ill, improving their quality of life and developing healthy behaviors and lifestyles. In particular, we should develop a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, psychological balance and other lifestyles and habits. "We also suggest that a family should have a sensible person who can actively learn health knowledge, establish health concepts and create a healthy family environment. It can be said that everyone who improves health literacy should be a participant, practitioner and beneficiary. "
