A campaign themed "Living a Healthy Life" is going on across Huxi sub-district, aimed at increasing the migrant population's awareness and knowledge of health care. Up till now, over 20 events for the purpose have taken place in areas where migrant people concentrate.

The first event was held near the subway exit at Xinghai Square in late February, when staff from Huxi Community Working Committee imparted health knowledge to the residents and staff from the local family planning office, answered their inquires about birth control polices, free pre-pregnancy physical examination and other related issues.

Another event took place at Shihui Vegetable Market, where the community staff distributed handouts on health care and contraceptives to the migrant people, calling on them to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Xinjia, Xincheng and Tianxiang communities hosted events of similar kind at Xincheng Neighborhood Center. In addition to distributing handouts and imparting knowledge on health care, the volunteers provided free blood pressure and glucose testing and consultancy to the participants.

Staff from Shuixiang, Xi'an and Chengbang communities recently visited a construction site at Xingang Street and disseminated health knowledge to people there.

Several other communities respectively organized health lectures and free clinic events to give the residents a helping hand in health maintenance.
