Creating healthy cities promotes socio-economic development, thus, the creation of such cities has been receiving more attention from the Chinese government and the Chinese people. In the current study, the intention was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the creation of healthy cities in Henan province in central China.
We randomly selected 18 cities (7 healthy cities and 11 non-healthy cities) in middle regions of China in 2013 and established evaluation indices to evaluate the beneficial effects by horizontal and vertical comparison analyses.
Creating the healthy cities promoted health service, economic development, spiritual and ecological success. This was achieved by constructing cities and changing work style among the officials and establishment of patriotic health organizations.
This is the first comprehensive, in-depth, appraisal of the healthy cities in China. We suggest that creating the healthy cities should be promoted a larger extend world-wide since it is beneficial at many levels.
创建健康城市促进社会经济发展,因此,此类城市的创建受到中国政府和民众越来越多的关注。在本研究中,旨在对中国中部河南省的健康城市创建情况进行全面评估。
2013年,我们在中国中部地区随机选取了18个城市(7个健康城市和11个非健康城市),并建立评估指标,通过横向和纵向比较分析来评估其有益效果。
创建健康城市促进了卫生服务、经济发展、精神文明和生态建设。这是通过城市建设、改变官员工作作风以及建立爱国卫生组织实现的。
这是对中国健康城市的首次全面、深入评估。我们建议应在全球更大范围内推广创建健康城市,因为它在多个层面都有益处。
