The one-year campaign will be carried out in 12 provinces selected in China’s eastern, western and central regions.

Beijing will be the first stop, with the theme of “Women and Children Health, Beautiful Life.” Health lectures, voluntary healthcare services from experts, and health consultations will be carried out in Beijing’s 16 districts and counties.

As one of the activities for the Women and Children Healthcare Year, the health tour campaign is important to deepening healthcare reform and realizing the “Chinese dream of health,” said Wang Guoqiang.

Health and family planning departments at all levels should fully understand the significance of themed publicity for children and women’s health, which should be carried out across the country. It should enhance cross-department cooperation, combine new trends and focus on benefits to residents. It should creatively carry out related activities, and then make them routine in order to promote the sound and sustainable development of the health tour, Wang said.
