Heavy Floods affected many parts of China this summer, including the eastern and southern provinces of Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Guangdong.
Persistent rainfall has damaged roads and buildings, and led to casualties.
So far, medical emergency preparedness and response have been carried out in an effective and orderly manner in all the flooded regions, the National Health Commission said at a press conference.
Joint efforts have been made to enhance local medical emergency response capabilities, strengthen disaster monitoring and warning, and intensify disaster prevention and mitigation at medical institutions.
The health authorities also emphasized the crucial role of environmental hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases.
