Abstract

This paper argues that health is a realistic productive force that may enhance the index of happiness. As the basis of all developments and the source of a person's and his/her family's happiness, health requires not only primary and secondary prevention, but also policy prevention, that is to say, grade-zero prevention. Therefore, people should pay more attention to Health in All Policies. As a new preventive strategy, the policy prevention will help improve people's health significantly and promote the concepts of "Healthy China" and "the Chinese Dream" or "the World Dream" to realize a dream from reality to the future.

Keywords: health promotion; infectious disease; non-communicable disease; policy prevention; primary and secondary prevention.
