Recently, eight departments, including the National Health Commission, the National Patriotic Health Campaign Committee, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, jointly issued the "Notice on Comprehensively Carrying out the Construction of Healthy Families" and the trial version of the Guidelines for the Construction of Healthy Families. According to this document, by 2025, the health literacy level of the national population will not be less than 25%, and by 2030, the health literacy level of the national population will not be less than 30%. At the same time, each village and community will be equipped with 1-2 family health instructors to cover more than 90% of villages and communities by the end of 2025 and by the end of 2030.
1. Delay retirement to lay the foundation
In recent years, the problem of aging in China has become increasingly prominent, and delaying retirement has become an inevitable move. However, many people are very resistant to delaying retirement. By introducing professionals such as family health instructors, the health level of the whole society can be improved, and the implementation of the delayed retirement policy can be effectively guaranteed.
2. Increase fertility
The fertility rate in our country continues to decline, which seriously affects the population growth and labor force. An important part of the policy of building a healthy family is to disseminate the birth policy and guide marriage and childbearing at the appropriate age and to give birth to children, which will help increase the fertility rate and reverse the negative population growth.
3. Expand employment opportunities
As economic growth slows, the employment problem for young people is becoming more and more serious. The introduction of delayed retirement may put some pressure on young people to find employment. However, the nationwide deployment of family health instructors will provide more employment opportunities for families and help address the employment of young people.
Family health instructors play a key role in the construction of healthy families, and their main responsibility is to improve the health literacy of residents by guiding family members to implement healthy lifestyles.
1. Provide health consultation and services
Family health instructors will provide residents with health counseling and services, including guidance on healthy eating, exercise, mental health, etc., to help family members develop healthy living habits.
2. Popularize health knowledge
Family health instructors will educate family members about health and improve their health literacy. They will organize health lectures, training courses and other activities to disseminate health concepts and scientific knowledge.
3. Monitor health status
The family health coach will regularly monitor the health status of family members to identify and deal with health problems in a timely manner. They will conduct health assessments, health check-ups, and other work to provide personalized health management services for families.
1. Introduce professionals
Family health construction requires professional health managers to interact with family members. In addition to family health instructors, professionals such as village doctors, women's volunteer service teams, social sports instructors, and nutrition instructors can also be introduced to participate in family health management.
2. Carry out training and publicity activities
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the construction of healthy families, training and awareness should be strengthened. Organize training courses, information sessions and other activities to improve the professional quality and service level of family health instructors, and at the same time popularize the relevant knowledge and concepts of healthy family construction.
3. Strengthen policy support
The construction of healthy families needs the support and promotion of policies. Relevant departments should increase capital investment, formulate relevant policies and regulations, and provide a good policy environment and safeguard measures for the construction of family health.
Family health construction is an important part of the Healthy China strategy, and it is also an important measure to promote social progress and improve people's livelihood. By equipping family health instructors, the health literacy and quality of life of residents can be improved, and solutions can be provided for problems such as delaying retirement, increasing fertility, and expanding employment opportunities. The implementation of family health construction requires extensive social participation and policy support, and at the same time, it also requires the active cooperation and participation of the majority of family members. The goals of health for all and sustainable development can only be achieved by working together.
