30% of China people lack health knowledge, and wrong maintenance is even worse.
What is "health literacy"? Minister Lin Jiwei said that it is the people's ability to obtain, understand, judge and implement health-related decisions. However, according to the survey, although medical resources are easily available in Taiwan Province Province, nearly 30% of Chinese people still lack health knowledge! It is estimated that Taiwan Province Province will increase medical expenditure by 20-30 billion yuan.
Improve health knowledge, so that medical expenses can be easily saved.

According to statistics, the top five total expenditures of health insurance clinics are all chronic diseases in Taiwan Province Province, the first is dialysis nursing of chronic kidney disease, followed by diabetes, colds, hypertension and heart disease. If you can improve your health knowledge, it is estimated that you can save 10% of the health insurance premium.
