viral hepatitis, as the second deadly infectious disease after tuberculosis, is
a severe threat to people's health and a major public health challenge jointly
faced by all countries around the world. Due to long-term accumulation,

still high. There are 1 million new infected hepatitis B patients and nearly 200,000
new infected hepatitis C patients in China every year. The prevention and
control task is still difficult. The realization of the goal of reducing the
incidence of viral hepatitis by 90% and the viral hepatitis related mortality
by 65% before 2030 proposed by WHO still faces many difficulties. The whole
society needs to work together. Chen Zhu stressed that, General Secretary Xi
Jinping has repeatedly pointed out "without public health, without
well-off society". Health is an inevitable requirement for human
development, an important symbol of national prosperity, and a common pursuit
of the people. During this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, General Secretary Xi
Jinping stressed when visiting the healthcare and education sectors who
attended the CPPCC: " We should focus on major diseases and major issues
affecting people's health, accelerate the implementation of the Healthy China
Action, and build a national public health protection network.” Approved by the
