Without the health of the entire population, there can be no overall moderate prosperity. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to “implement the Healthy China strategy”, shifting the focus from treating diseases to focusing on the people’s health, establishing the concept of “greater health”, and providing the people with comprehensive, whole-life-cycle health services. To promote and safeguard the implementation of the Healthy China strategy in the field of psychosomatic health, the Psychosomatic Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association has always adhered to the enduring theme of “promoting humanistic spirit, integrating mind and body, treating mind and body simultaneously, and standardizing diagnosis and treatment”, which is precisely in line with the connotation of the Healthy China strategy.
