—The 24th World Voice Day Series Events Conclude Successfully: Integration of Art and Medicine Safeguards National Voice Health
April 16, 2026 marked the 24th “World Voice Day”. Leveraging its strengths in industrial resource linkage and commitment to the “Four Services”, the Chinese Association of Art Medicine planned extensively and mobilized widely. From mid-March to mid-April, the Association organized 16 diverse and informative public welfare activities, reaching more than 10,000 audiences both online and offline. Practicing the concept of “scientific voice care and integration of art and medicine” with concrete actions, the events have garnered extensive social repercussions.
1. High-Level Coordination Builds a Multi-Dimensional Communication Matrix
Led by President Li Gelin as the overall convener, the event integrated core expert resources of the Association, forming a three-level organizational system of “president taking the lead, council members coordinating, and members participating”. The activities covered five major categories: public welfare lectures, expert live streams, on-site free clinics, media science popularization, and academic exchanges, achieving all-round coverage through “traditional media + new media”, “online + offline”, and “professional + public” channels. Mainstream media including CCTV Comprehensive Channel, CNR.cn, and Xiamen Daily participated extensively. Meanwhile, various institutions of the Association released content simultaneously through their official WeChat Channels and Official Accounts, establishing a three-dimensional communication network.
2. Targeted Strategies Deliver Precise Services to Diverse Groups
Tailored science popularization strategies were implemented to meet the voice use needs of different professions:

Centering on its professional positioning of “art medicine”, the Association promoted in-depth dialogue between medicine and art. President Li Gelin, Executive Council Member Yan Yan, and Vice President Huang Yongwang jointly hosted a public welfare live stream titled “Integrating Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to Build the First Line of Defense for Throat Health”, combining the advantages of TCM and Western medicine to call on the public to focus on throat health.

Council Member Wang Yan participated in the theme “Voice and Mental Health: Exploring Natural Beauty in Singing and Performance”, translating professional medical knowledge into easy-to-understand and practical voice care guidelines for the public.
4. Remarkable Achievements Boost Growing Social Influence
