Recently, 4 professors of HZAU were selected to the Cancer Prevention and Control Steering Committee of Wuhan “323” Campaign (a campaign against eight major health problems). Prof. Wei Shaozhong (Dean of College of Bio-medicine and Health) serves as the chairman. Prof. Jin Honglin, Researcher Li Li and part-time tutor Prof. Wu Xinhong are members of the board. Other 16 elected experts are from major hospitals, universities and primary medical units of Wuhan.
Wuhan’s “323” Campaign focuses on solving 8 major problems affecting people’s health: 3 major diseases (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases), 2 common diseases (hypertension and diabetes), 3 public health problems (birth defects, myopia and mental health). This campaign aims to reduce the incidence, fatality rate and BOD with 3-5 years’ efforts. By 2025, resident health literacy level should surpass 35%, the mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be no higher than 2‰, and the overall 5-year survival rate of cancer should surpass 45%.
The selected experts will provide policy suggestions and technical support to the specialized disease management centers, help organizing works including training, guidance, evaluation and analysis and actively participate in them. They will carry out relevant work on scientific research, science popularization and education, technical training and academic exchanges, and cooperate with the Chronic Disease Management Center to evaluate and assess the effect of various critical actions, so as to drive the all-round development of Healthy Wuhan Action and continuously improve the Wuhan people’s sense of gain in health.
