China Public Health
From the beginnings of human civilization, public health was recognized.  In some ways, it is a modern concept in nowadays. In order to gain some understanding of the causes of diseases and ensure social stability prosperity, the governments have placed the responsibility on leaders to develop public health policies and programs. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the aims of healthcare programs were providing care to every member of the country and to make maximum use of limited health-care personnel, equipments, and financial resources. It was a long time since the public health system been overseen by the Ministry of Health and the modernization of the system been studied internationally.

Public health is the science and art that prevent diseases, prolong life and promote health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals. Public health is typically divided into epidemiology, biostatistics and health services. Environmental, social, behavioral, and occupational health is also important subfields. The public health deals with preventive rather than curative aspects of health and deals with population-level, rather than individual-level health issues.

The focus of public health intervention is to prevent rather than treat a disease through surveillance of cases and the promotion of healthy behaviors. In addition to these activities, in many cases, treating a disease may be vital to preventing it in others, such as during an outbreak of an infectious dis
ease. Hand washing, vaccination programs and distribution of condoms are examples of public health measures. The goal of public health is to improve lives through the prevention and treatment of disease.
China is undertaking a reform on its health care system. And in the past 50 years, China had made great achievements in controlling infectious diseases and improving the public's health and hygiene. However, in the September of 2007, nearly 80 presents of the whole rural population of China had signed up (about 685 million people). The population in question can be as small as a handful of people or as large as all the inhabitants of several continents (for instance, in the case of a pandemic). And owing to the negative effects brought on by aging of the population and the burdens of diseases, urbanization, industrialization, and globalization, Chinese public health officials are encountering greater difficulties than ever.

The operating models of public health are old and that can not meet present requirements. The main problems at that time are poor capacity to respond to public health emergencies, severe inequality of health care services, and lagging development of public health information systems. The public health in China can gradually meet the requirements of social development and the increasing public demand for health care services only when the public health is directed by informatization, globalization, technification, and humanization.
