Establish a national health science popularization expert database and resource library, and a mechanism for the release and dissemination of all-media health science knowledge, focusing on the popularization of health knowledge, reasonable diet, national fitness, tobacco control and alcohol restriction, mental health, and healthy environment promotion, etc., to comprehensively control risk factors affecting health. The health literacy level of residents has increased to 25.4%, and the proportion of people who regularly participate in physical exercise has reached 37.2%.

Third, the health maintenance ability of the whole life cycle has been significantly improved. Focus on key groups, improve the health security system, and continuously improve health service capabilities.
