With the arrival of spring comes renewal and progress. To deeply implement education on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievement, and in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Municipal Bureau for Retired Cadres, the Working Committee of Municipal Organs, and the Commission Party Committee, the Beijing Municipal Health Commission held a training program for staff serving retired cadres from March 18 to 19, 2026. The program aimed to further promote high-quality development in retired cadres’ work, guide staff to strengthen theoretical knowledge, broaden perspectives, enhance professional competence, and continuously improve their ability to perform duties. More than 80 directors and staff from retired cadres’ offices across the system attended the training.
Three Theoretical Reports: Shaping Ideals and Clarifying Direction. The training placed theoretical study at the core, carefully organizing three high-level special reports. Experts and professors from Capital Normal University, the Municipal Party Research Office, and the Commission Party School delivered lectures focused on General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievement, selections from Xi Jinping on Healthy China, and an interpretation of Beijing’s “15th Five-Year Plan” outline. The instructors presented the content clearly and practically, tailored to local contexts, helping participants strengthen ideals and beliefs and identify the direction for contributing to overall development.
Three Professional Courses: Deepening Knowledge and Strengthening Foundations. The training emphasized professional support as a foundation. Based on the actual needs of staff, leaders from the National Health Commission’s Retired Cadres Bureau, the Municipal Party Research Office, and the Municipal Association on Aging delivered targeted sessions covering key topics such as leveraging the expertise of senior talent, supporting the Healthy China initiative, interpreting policies for the elderly, and conducting effective research. The instructors combined policy frameworks with practical examples, explained top-level designs, analyzed operational challenges, and shared practical skills, helping participants clarify professional standards, fill competency gaps, and consolidate the “silver-haired” workforce to safeguard the well-being of the elderly.
Three Groups of Discussion and Exchange: Building Consensus and Opening New Prospects. At the start of the training, the Director of the Commission’s Retired Cadres Division reviewed the achievements of retired cadres’ work in 2025, outlined key tasks for 2026, and mobilized support to guide senior health professionals in contributing to the health system’s capacity-building initiatives. Following these guidelines, building consensus through exchange and ensuring implementation through discussion, participants engaged in tiered group discussions, transforming broad principles into practical actions, openly raising questions, sharing experiences, and collaboratively solving work challenges to build collective momentum for development.
This training, with the main thread of establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievement, focused on professional areas including supporting the Healthy China initiative and implementing elderly-related policies. By combining three theoretical reports to shape ideals, three professional courses to strengthen competence, and three discussion sessions to foster collaboration, the program achieved a stepwise, integrated approach linking study to practice through summary and deployment, unleashing new momentum in the work concerning retired cadres within the commission system. We must stay true to our original aspirations and bear our missions firmly in mind. Participants expressed that they would take this training as a new starting point, promoting learning through action, translating knowledge into practical results, and continuously advancing the work of retired cadres, contributing wisdom and strength to the development of the capital’s health sector.
