Aging problems are getting worse. Health and well-being in the national economic and social development are great challenges and opportunities. After nearly 30 years of rapid development, China has made remarkable achievements in healthcare. However, it still cannot meet the growing health needs of the people and faces many difficulties and challenges. The main problems lie in the following aspects: The first is to accelerate the transformation of the health mode. The second is the deterioration of the ecological environment has become an important factor that threatens the health of our people. The third is that there is fragmentation of preventive care strategies and preventable risk factors are not effectively controlled. The fourth is that there is inadequate provision of health services and the development of healthcare lags behind economic development and cannot meet national needs.
