Cui Yu, deputy head of the All-China Women’s Federation, required the women’s federations at all levels to learn the significance of the health tour and implement publicity and education, benefiting all residents.

As the first stop of the health tour, Beijing will carry out publicity and education activities for the health of women and children according to requirements of the campaign, said Guo Jiyong, commissioner of Beijing’s Health and Family Planning Commission.

Gu Xiulian, deputy head of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress and director of the China National Committee for the Wellbeing of the Youth, attended the opening ceremony and congratulated the campaign.

In the opening ceremony, the National Center for Women and Children’s Health and China CDC received donations from the website of Wujiaw.com, including publicity materials, expenses for expert training, voluntary medical services and health consultations.

In the opening ceremony, the organizing committee of the China Women Health Series Activities also donated a fleet of six vehicles, nicknamed the “Healthy Mother Express,” to the China Women’s Development Foundation. The foundation decided to donate them to local healthcare centers for women and children in Beijing’s districts and counties, including Yanqing and Miyun.

More than 200 people, including officials from organizers and Beijing’s health and family planning departments in its districts and counties, as well as representatives from medical institutions and media, participated in the opening ceremony.

Afterwards, Wang Guoqiang visited a sub-venue for China’s Women-Children Health Tour in Fangshan district. He met with experts and residents at a voluntary treatment and consultation site and visited Fangshan’s healthcare center for women and children, where he praised Beijing’s hardworking healthcare personnel.
