In order to cultivate students' awareness of being responsible for their own health, enhance self-protection consciousness, improve students' ability to identify tuberculosis and AIDS, and enhance their health literacy and disease prevention awareness, GZUC invited Dr. Long Ju, Deputy Chief Physician of the Infectious Disease Control Department of Baiyun District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Hu Hongjun, the Public Health Practitioner of the AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Department of Baiyun District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to conduct a public health lecture for students of GZUC on the afternoon of June 8th. More than 200 students from all teaching departments of the university attended the lecture.
