Serving the Community:
In 1949, the Chinese Communists defeated the Nationalist forces and founded the People's
Republic of China. After years of civil war, health
conditions in the country were poor. The government launched "Great Patriotic Health Campaigns"
to teach communities how to prevent common illnesses.
