The Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
officially established a work committee Monday to boost public health work in
the capital city.
The committee will work with the municipal bureau of health in the same
office. You Lantian, a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal
Committee of the CPC, has been named head of the committee.
"Establishing the committee is an important decision made by the Beijing
Municipal Committee of the CPC aimed at bolstering the public health system in
the Chinese capital following the strike of SARS," deputy secretary of the
Beijing Municipal Committee of the CPC Long Xinmin said at Monday's ceremony
marking the establishment of the committee.
Long said the construction and development of the public health system has
direct bearings on the health and safety of the people and is linked to the
overall situation of reform, development and stability in the capital city and
the city's international image.
He urged the work committee and the municipal medical and public health
system to work hard to establish a modern public health system to ensure the
health of the masses.
