During the SARS epidemic in 2003, the State Council established a SARS prevention and control headquarters, the central government established a SARS prevention and control fund, and allocated special funds for the construction of a national disease prevention and control network to improve The treatment capacity of medical institutions. The central government's allocation of special funds for the construction of a nationwide disease prevention and control network plays a role in improving the social security system and improving material security for people's lives.

This huge role of finance is specifically reflected in "Finance is the material guarantee for establishing and improving the social public service system." This move created a peaceful and harmonious living environment for the people and achieved a great victory in the fight against SARS. This is reflected in the fact that it is a "material guarantee for consolidating state power" and "a material guarantee for achieving fair distribution of income, improving the social security system, and improving people's lives."
