Abstract
With China's economic development and life-style changes, the spectrum of diseases and risk factors affecting our people's health has drastically changed. The current systems, including health laws and decrees, education about clinical and preventive medicine, health services, disease prevention and control, and so forth, do not meet the real demands of the Chinese people's health promotion and protection. In this article, we analyze China's historical achievements, as well as current challenges and opportunities in healthcare policy formulation and implementation, and administrative strategy, and discuss how to establish an innovation-oriented national preventive medicine system in order to make efficient and ultimate use of limited resources to control the rapid increase in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases, and to protect and promote maximum public health across the nation.
