Preamble
Good health is a prerequisite for promoting well-rounded development of human beings. It is also essential to the economic and social development. Therefore, having good health and a long life is an important sign of the national prosperity and rejuvenation, representing the common aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups in China.
The Party and the State have always attached great importance to the health of the people. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, and especially since the reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in the reform and development of health sector, with significant and positive changes in urban and rural environment, thriving nation-wide fitness campaigns, increasingly complete medical and health service system, and constant improvements in the health and physical quality of the people. In 2015, China's average life expectancy reached 76.34 years; the infant mortality rate, mortality of children under the age of five and maternal mortality rate respectively dropped to 0.81%, 1.07% and 20.1 per hundred thousand live births, generally higher than the average levels of mid- and high-income countries, laying an important foundation for finishing building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Meanwhile, industrialization, urbanization, aging of the population, changes in the disease spectrum, as well as changes in the ecological environment and lifestyle, have also brought new challenges to the maintenance and promotion of health: the inconsistency between the supply of health services which has been insufficient generally and the demand for health services which has been on the rise remains prominent; the coordination between the development of health sector and that of economy and society needs to be improved; and those major and long-term issues concerning the development of health sector should be solved under overall planning at the national strategic level.
To advance the building of a healthy China is critical for finishing building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and general realization of socialist modernization, and serves as a national strategy of comprehensively promoting the health quality of the Chinese people and achieving coordinated development between the health of the people and the economy and society, and a major initiative for actively engaging in global health and fulfilling the international commitments to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The coming 15 years will be an important period of strategic opportunities for advancing the progress of healthy China, as maintaining the economic growth at a medium-high rate will lay a solid foundation for safeguarding the health of the people; the upgrading of consumption structure will create a vast space for the development of health services; scientific and technological innovation will provide strong support to improve the health level; and more mature and complete institutional systems in all respects will form a powerful support for sustainable development of the health sector.
In order to advance the building of healthy China and improve the people's health, and in accordance with the strategic deployment determined at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, this Outline is formulated. This Outline describes the grand blueprint and program of action for promoting the building of healthy China. All sectors in society shall enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, and invest all efforts into promoting the development of healthy China, in order to make greater contributions to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and advance the progress of human civilization.
