保護和增進人民健康, 必須根據衛生工作的四大原則… (Protect people's health according to the four principles…), Shanghai Anti-Tuberculosis Association, 1954

In 1953, the Shanghai Anti-Tuberculosis Association produced a large series of anti-TB posters. A year later two more posters were printed, including this one. The 1954 posters helped to depict public health as an integral part of the first Five-Year Plan of 1953-1957 that became the key health policy under Mao Zedong.

The first Five-Year Plan stated that as industrial production developed, factories would have labor insurance and labor protection, government employees would have free medical care, and health facilities would be strengthened to protect people’s health in cities and the countryside.
