2. Every year, 65438+1October 28th is World Men's Health Day. On the occasion of the annual World Men's Health Day, countries all over the world are required to increase publicity on men's health, and the whole society is called upon to pay more attention to men's health, and every family is called upon to pay more attention to men's health.
The origin of the festival is 1994. The United Nations "International Conference on Population and Development" pointed out that it is necessary to formulate a program to provide reproductive health information, consultation and services to adolescents and adult men. This program must be both educational and enable men to take responsibility for family planning and be willing to take the main responsibility for preventing sexually transmitted diseases. The government of China has made a special plan for this purpose.
A large number of social surveys and medical statistics at home and abroad show that more and more diseases are rapidly attacking men and constantly threatening the physical and mental health of gay men. Such as prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, diabetes, fatigue syndrome, obesity syndrome, alopecia and baldness. All these seem to indicate that men are more vulnerable. It is also true that the average life expectancy of men in the world is 2-3 years younger than that of women. These hazards to men's health have long attracted the attention of the international health organization.
Since 2000, the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China has made a decision to take 65438+1October 28th every year as "Men's Health Day" in China, and set the theme of the activity. In 2000, the National Population and Family Planning Commission announced that Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other big cities 15 would be the pilot cities to promote Men's Health Day. After gaining some experience in the first Men's Health Day, a nationwide publicity campaign on Men's Health Day was launched every year1October 28th, 65438+28th, with different themes.
