The School of Public Health, Shanghai Medical University was found in 1952. Since then the school put emphases on rural health, student field practice and establishment of teaching bases.One of the rural teaching base-Shanghai County was established in 1956 during the campaign of control of schistosomiasis. In 1960's our students and teachers involved in Anti-schistosomiasis struggle, treated patients, controlled snails and managed water supply and nightsoil. The schistosomiasis was eliminated in 1985 and the surveillance work is still carried on.In 1981, our United States friends from CDC and University of Johns Hopkin worked with Chinese colleagues. They investigated the health status and health service situation in Shanghai County. After survey they published the papers in Acta Academ. Med. Shanghai and American Journal of Public Health. The study methods Have been recommended to other cities and provinces. The health service research has prevailed all over the China.The health status of Shanghai County have changed remarkably during last ten years. Most of the criteria of Primary health Care were already reached. Recently WHO Regional Office set a PHC training center in this county and trained several groups of county health bureau leaders.Ten years passed. We would like to take this opportunity to summarize our work, share our common experience and to promote Sino-US scientific groups.These summaries represented the work of many people including staffs in Shanghai County and teachers, students in School of Public Plealth, SMU. I hope that our relationship will be further consolidated and strengthened by the year of 2000. The health status of Shanghai Countx will be improved and people will get better life.
