Reflections on 66 articles on health literacy
The publication of "Health 66-A Reader of China Citizens' Health Literacy" (hereinafter referred to as "Health 66") is to interpret the No.3 announcement issued by the Ministry of Health on June 5438+ 10, 2008-"China Citizens' Health Literacy-Basic Knowledge and Skills (Trial)".

Why do you want to publish this announcement? In order to improve the health of the whole people.

Health is the foundation of life. People are engaged in labor, construction and all kinds of work, for what? For a happier life, but without health, even if happiness is around, you can't enjoy it; On the other hand, if people want to live a happy life, they must engage in labor, construction and various jobs. How can they work if they are not healthy? "Health is the foundation of people's all-round development and is related to the happiness of every family." This is the absolute truth. Therefore, the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put "establishing a basic medical and health system and improving the health level of the whole people" into the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

People in China have long noticed the importance of health preservation, and put forward a series of concepts and methods of health preservation, which have played a very positive role. However, with the progress of science and technology and the change of people's living environment and living conditions, we should and may put forward more scientific and suitable basic knowledge and skills of health care on the basis of absorbing the wisdom of our predecessors. Therefore, the Ministry of Health organized experts to put forward 66 points of health literacy that China citizens must master after repeated research and screening. This is the origin of Announcement No.3 of the Ministry of Health in 2008.

Health literacy refers to a person's ability to obtain and understand basic health information and services, and use these information and services to make correct judgments and decisions, so as to maintain and promote their own health. The modern concept of health is not limited to the absence of disease or weakness, but refers to the complete state of physical, psychological and social adaptation. Health literacy naturally includes these three aspects.

It is the basis of improving health literacy to read the contents of 66 health articles carefully and master basic knowledge and skills. Some of these points can be understood at a glance and learned at once, which seems to be a cliche, but as long as you combine knowledge with practice and do it seriously, you will benefit for life.

It is still an era of "talking about cancer discoloration", and there is still no cure for cancer drugs. However, if we know that tobacco smoke contains a lot of carcinogens, so we are determined to quit smoking, it will greatly reduce the risk of lung cancer and other cancers.

Many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and diabetes, have become the enemy of people's health. Patients are not only suffering personally, but also the long-term medical expenses make their families overwhelmed and consume a lot of medical resources in society. In fact, the occurrence of chronic diseases largely depends on whether the lifestyle is healthy or not. Disordered life, improper diet, unlimited alcohol and tobacco, and regular exercise are all important causes of chronic diseases. If we follow the requirements of 66 health literacy, abandon bad behavior and develop a healthy lifestyle, chronic diseases will not spread.

Keeping healthy requires mastering the necessary knowledge and skills. Many dangers stem from ignorance. How to avoid occupational hazards in production, how to prevent gas poisoning, how to rescue fracture victims, how to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation, how to store medicines and pesticides ... Mastering these knowledge and skills can not only save yourself, but also save people, thus avoiding many unnecessary injuries and deaths.

In a word, "Health 66" is scientific, knowledgeable and practical, and it is a nursing manual that all China citizens who care about their own health and others' health should read carefully.

At present, China's national economy continues to develop and social construction is accelerated. People-oriented ruling philosophy and the goal of building a harmonious society have attracted people's health. Improving citizens' health literacy and improving citizens' health quality has become a top priority. It is hoped that "Healthy 66" will become a mentor and friend in spreading healthy culture and play its due role in consolidating and improving the health level of the Chinese nation and enhancing people's happiness.

I'd like to take this as an order.
