ABSTRACT
This paper discussed "people-centered" view on the epidemic prevention and control in the new era from three aspects: theoretical origin, value implication and practical orientation. This view originates not only from the thought of people subject in Marxist historical materialism and people’s view in the important discourse on epidemic prevention and control of successive leaders of Communist Party of China, but also from the people-oriented thought of eliminating epidemic diseases in the traditional Chinese culture. Its value implication mainly manifested as the people’s stand of the prevention and control concept, the people’s orientation of the prevention and control work, and the people’s sharing of the prevention and control achievements. Its practical orientation is reflected in the prevention and control work relies on the people’s promotion, the prevention and control process relies on the people’s supervision, and the effectiveness of prevention and control depends on the people’s test.
