ABOUT 1,000 people have been organized to help spread the word on good health in Minhang District.
The team members include 200 doctors and 800 volunteers. Doctors will give lectures once a month in every neighborhood committee while volunteers will organize a series of health education events.
A recent survey showed Minhang residents lacked basic health knowledge although most had good habits.
About 95 percent of those surveyed said they did not spit in public, while 82 percent people washed their hands regularly with running water. More than two-thirds of residents brushed their teeth twice a day but more education would help, according to the survey.
Only 30 percent of interviewees stopped other people smoking cigarettes in public.
The district will maintain an annual survey of health risk factors to improve its health education.
One hundred Minhang residents aged from 15 to 69 took part in the survey.
The result showed residents with monthly family income ranging from 5,000 yuan (US$735) to 9,999 yuan mastered the most knowledge about how to stay healthy.
