Abstract: It is estimated that 89% of mortalities could be attributed to chronic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) currently in China and NCDs are the most serious diseases which cause the disease burden in Chinese population. Since 1980s, World Health Organization has been advocating the application of health promotion strategies to improve population health. Recapitulating the evolution of health promotion policies, we can find that comprehensive actions (such as developing healthy public policy, creating supportive environments for health, strengthening community action, building up personal skills, and reorienting health services) can effectively reduce the burden caused by NCDs. The implementation framework of health in all policies is in favor of the government commitments on maintaining population health, by which it can lead to a path for multi-sectoral cooperation to solve complex social determinants that affect health.
