China wants to increase the average life expectancy of its citizens to 77.3 years by 2020 and 79 years by 2030, up from last year’s 76.34, according to the “Healthy China 2030” blueprint. The document noted that industrialization, urbanization, an aging population, as well as environmental and lifestyle changes had created new health challenges, and nationwide strategies are needed to solve “major and long-term health-related issues.” The number of people “frequently participating in physical exercise” should increase to 530 million by 2030 from 360 million in 2014, and the smoking rate of those aged 15 or above should be lowered to 20%. China aims to have three certified or assistant doctors, and 4.7 registered nurses, for every 1,000 residents by 2030, when China will also have a nationwide network for monitoring food safety and recording food-borne diseases, according to the blueprint.
