Program Description
For several years, the Concordia Welfare Education Foundation (CWEF) has been
engaged in a health initiative in villages in Yunnan, China to understand community health practices and provide support for the improvement of health outcomes. Having implemented several measures at the community level, the next phase of the Health
Education Advocacy and Literacy (HEAL) project will focus on improving
health-related outcomes at the school level. This year, CWEF is considering upgrading the public health curriculum, especially on health education for pregnant women, children and the elderly in the community in Yunnan.
