China's health literacy has steadily risen and reached 29.7 percent in 2023, up 1.92 percentage points from the previous year, according to the National Health Commission (NHC) on Wednesday.
A NHC survey revealed that the health literacy among Chinese urban residents was 33.25 percent, and that in rural areas was 26.23 percent, increasing by 1.31 and 2.45 percentage points, respectively.
