In the past three years, Nanyang has actively promoted health education activities, strived to transform the concept of health into a scientific and reasonable citizens' lifestyle, and continued to improve health awareness.

Nanyang has been investing at least 2 million yuan ($ 306,955.61) in health education funds every year to build a health education network. Through a series of health education and promotion activities, public health awareness has been raised.

The city's primary and secondary schools generally offer health education courses. The awareness rate of students' health education knowledge reached 92 percent, and the formation rate of students’ healthy behaviors continues to increase.

Nanyang also took advantage of news media such as "Nanyang Daily" and the WeChat account "Healthy Nanyang" to popularize the citizens' health awareness by opening columns and knowledge contests.

In addition, the city put welfare advertisements in public places such as shopping malls, amusement parks and buses, while medical units in the city carried out health education activities such as health consultations and special lectures.
