On the fertile and picturesque land of Songyang, the Songyang County Center for Disease Prevention and Control—shortened to “Songyang CDC”—a stalwart force in public health, is deeply rooted in the grassroots community, steadfastly committed to its mission, and tirelessly builds a robust health defense with professional expertise. As a first-class public welfare institution under the jurisdiction of the County Health and Wellness Bureau, it integrates key responsibilities, undertaking tasks such as disease prevention and control, public health supervision, and health education. It serves as an invisible guardian, safeguarding the health of the local population.

Party building leads the way to strengthen our foundations; fulfilling duties and taking responsibility earns recognition.

Songyang CDC adheres to Party building as the guiding principle, taking the quality standards of Songyang in the new era as its orientation, and has established a clearly defined division-of-labor work system. All staff members are advancing their work with a spirit of vigorous effort and determination. In 2023, the center was recognized as having "outstanding comprehensive performance in county-level disease prevention and control work across the city" thanks to its solid achievements. This honor is a vivid embodiment of its "pragmatic excellence and pioneering spirit." Since 2024, the center has been aligning itself with the goal of modernizing health and wellness, continuously enhancing its service capabilities, and writing a new chapter in its development.

Accurate prevention and control build a barrier; emergency response showcases true character.

Songyang CDC has consistently maintained a state of emergency preparedness, continuously improving its comprehensive prevention and control mechanisms across the entire chain. It has also established specialized emergency response teams that maintain 24-hour on-duty presence. At critical moments, CDC personnel have stepped forward bravely, rushing to assist Quzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, and other regions, successfully completing urgent tasks such as epidemiological investigations and nucleic acid testing. Key personnel—including Hong Binghui, head of the Laboratory Department—have been fighting continuously at the frontline of epidemic prevention in other localities, handling massive volumes of sample testing daily. Upon returning home, they have wholeheartedly devoted themselves to strengthening local prevention and control capabilities, demonstrating their sense of responsibility through concrete actions. In daily operations, the center rigorously inspects medical institutions’ compliance with prevention and control measures, standardizes the setup of monitoring stations, and weaves a robust prevention and control network that extends “horizontally to every boundary and vertically to the deepest level.”

Health education nourishes the people; services warm every household.

Focusing on the “Implementation Plan for Enhancing Health Literacy in Songyang County (2023-2025),” Songyang’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention is concentrating its efforts on key populations such as the elderly and children, and is carrying out a variety of science popularization activities. During World Tuberculosis Day 2025, the center collaborated with multiple departments to launch a themed publicity campaign, reaching over 300 members of the public. The center also regularly promotes the “Five Entrances” health education initiative, ensuring full coverage of rural cultural halls. Meanwhile, leveraging new media platforms and taking advantage of health awareness days and other key occasions, the center continuously releases practical health information, steadily improving residents’ health literacy levels.

With an unwavering初心, we move forward with determination and forge ahead with renewed vigor.

From laboratory testing to epidemiological investigations in streets and alleys, from health education to emergency response—staff at the Songyang Center for Disease Control and Prevention have built a solid public health defense line through professionalism, dedication, and commitment. Moving forward, the center will remain firmly centered on people’s health, deepen systemic reforms, enhance emergency response capabilities, and diversify science communication methods. With an even more pragmatic approach, we will continue safeguarding the well-being of Songyang’s residents and contributing greater strength to the high-quality development of the county’s health and wellness sector.
