Xi noted that the people’s health is an important indicator of a thriving nation and a strong country. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee has made safeguarding the people’s health a strategic priority, established the guidelines for health and wellness work in the new era, and made major decisions and plans for building a Healthy China. These efforts have led to the establishment of the world’s largest medical services system, traditional medicine system, disease prevention and control system, and medical security system, while producing historic achievements and all-round progress in health and wellness undertakings.
