April 7 is World Health Day, and this year's theme, "My Health, My Rights", aims to advocate for the right of everyone, everywhere, to quality health services, education and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent work and environmental conditions, and to be free from discrimination.
The National Health Commission has set the theme of China's propaganda campaign: Health for All, Promoting Health Together.
The definition of "health" is explained in the opening part of the Constitution of the World Health Organization: health is not only the elimination of disease or infirmity, but the complete state of physical, mental and social health.
Today, on World Health Day, we call on everyone to rethink what health means and to focus on and grasp the factors that can improve our health. These factors can be ubiquitous life chores, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting good sleep, or they can be a decision, such as quitting smoking or having regular check-ups.
Mr. Martin Taylor, WHO Representative in China, and colleagues from the WHO China Office were the first to share their "health tips".
