Abstract

China is a country in East Asia. It is the world’s most populous country with a population exceeding 1.4 billion people. China has achieved significant progress in the last 50 years in containing infectious diseases and enhancing public health and cleanliness. Chinese public health professionals, however, are facing more challenges than ever in the twenty-first century as a result of the negative consequences brought on by the aging of the population and the burdens of diseases, urbanization, industrialization, and globalization. The requirements of today cannot be met by outdated public health operating frameworks. The key issues are a lack of ability to respond to emergencies involving public health, extreme inequality in access to health care, and slow development of public health information systems. China’s public health will be able to gradually meet the needs of social development and the rising public demand for health care services only when it is guided by information technology, globalization, technological advancement, and humanization.
