Let more people master health knowledge
Strengthen the responsibility of science popularization in the whole society, strengthen the capacity building of science popularization, and strengthen the role of science popularization in the lifelong learning system. Some time ago, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the opinions on further strengthening the Popularization of Science and Technology in the New era, proposing to enhance the service capacity of science popularization at the grass-roots level centering on the education, health, and safety needs of the masses. This puts forward new requirements for health science popularization, which is conducive to further popularizing health knowledge and improving the level of health literacy of the whole people. China continues to strengthen the work of health science popularization and build a national database of experts and resources for health science popularization. We will establish a mechanism for the dissemination and dissemination of all-media health science knowledge, focusing on reasonable diet, national fitness, tobacco control and alcohol control, mental health, disease prevention, health environment promotion and so on. Health knowledge should be popularized for the whole population and the whole life cycle, and health science popularization should be more authoritative. Medical institutions should encourage medical staff to actively participate in health science popularization.
Strengthen the responsibility of science popularization in the whole society, strengthen the capacity building of science popularization, and strengthen the role of science popularization in the lifelong learning system. Some time ago, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "opinions on further strengthening the Popularization of Science and Technology in the New era," proposing to carry out in-depth science popularization work around the education, health, and safety needs of the masses. we will improve the service ability of science popularization at the grass-roots level. This puts forward new requirements for the popularization of health science, which is conducive to further popularizing health knowledge and improving the level of health literacy of the whole people.
Strengthening the popularization of health science and improving the level of health literacy of the whole people is an important step in disease prevention. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China has continuously strengthened the work of health science popularization, built a national health science popularization expert database and resource database, and established a mechanism for the publication and dissemination of all-media health science knowledge. focusing on reasonable diet, national fitness, tobacco control and alcohol control, mental health, disease prevention and health environment promotion, health knowledge popularization has been carried out for the whole population and the whole life cycle, so that the concept of health has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In order to strengthen the popularization of health science, it is necessary to encourage more medical staff to join the ranks of science popularization. Medical staff have received professional medical education, provide health services for patients all the year round, and have accumulated a lot of scientific health knowledge. compared with other groups, health science popularization is more authoritative and has more advantages. Medical institutions should encourage medical staff to actively participate in health science popularization, through the establishment of performance appraisal, professional title evaluation and other incentive mechanisms, so that they have time and motivation to do a good job of health science popularization. Medical institutions, especially large hospitals, can make use of their own influence, with the help of self-media platform, to spread health knowledge to more people. For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, through the Wechat official account "Union Doctor said", irregularly released some popular science articles by its experts, which was welcomed by the majority of netizens.
To strengthen the popularization of health science, we should focus on the grass-roots level. At present, in remote areas, especially in remote rural areas, residents lack health knowledge, and unhealthy lifestyles are relatively common. Carrying out various forms of health science popularization in communities and villages can help more residents develop healthy living habits. Community doctors and rural doctors are gatekeepers of residents' health. They blend in with the masses so that they can do a good job in the popularization of health science through words and deeds. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on urban and rural community comprehensive service facilities, and actively mobilize grass-roots doctors to participate in health science popularization activities.
The National Health Plan of the 14th five-year Plan proposes to carry out in-depth publicity and popularization of health knowledge and improve the health literacy of residents. Strengthening the popularization of health science, allowing more people to master health knowledge, and creating an atmosphere of healthy life in the whole society can further improve the health level of the whole people, which should be conscientiously promoted and firmly implemented.
