Program aims to popularize awareness of disability prevention countrywide

By Cheng Si

China has channeled continuous efforts to prevent disability by improving people's literacy about how to prevent it, controlling birth defects and disability caused by diseases or injuries.

The nation will mark the ninth national disability prevention day on Monday. Eleven central departments, including the China Disabled Persons' Federation, Office of Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission and the Ministry of Education, have recently jointly launched a program to better popularize knowledge on disability prevention, with a focus on those caused by injuries.

Under the program, the authorities will intensify promotion of laws and regulations on safety production, traffic security and occupational diseases prevention on Monday, to increase employers and individuals' awareness of personal security and health.
