National health authorities promote healthy life styles

Li Bin and Wang Guoqiang issue certificates to the professionals and publicists of the healthy lifestyle promotion.
To promote healthy lifestyles around China, the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) launched the second phase of the campaign "China Healthy Lifestyle for All" in Beijing on April 28.
The launching ceremony was co-organized by the NHFPC, the General Administration of Sport of China and four other national departments. Li Bin, minister of the NHFPC and Wang Guoqiang, vice-minister attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.
Wang noted that the campaign is meant to encourage local governments, organizations and social groups to participate in healthy lifestyle promotion and thus contribute to a healthy China.
The campaign was launched in 2007. The first 10-year phase promoted the idea of rational diet and moderate exercise across the country. The second five-year phase will carry out special actions to further promote national health lifestyles.
After the launching ceremony, the top health authorities held a walking competition. More than 1,000 people from the NHFPC and relevant national departments took part.
