我們偉大的祖國, 在中國共產党, 中央人民政府和毛主席的領導下, 在總路線的燈塔照耀下, 已開始實行第一個五年計劃… (The first Five-Year Plan stated…), 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.
