Poverty caused by illness and returning to poverty due to illness have always been prominent problems in the work of getting rid of poverty, especially for people suffering from chronic diseases or serious diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, uremia and leukemia, almost all of their family income is used for medical treatment.
A considerable number of poor people suffer from long-term chronic diseases, and often hesitate to go to the hospital when their condition deteriorates. It costs a lot of money to go to the hospital. If the harvest in the field is average and there are few job opportunities, the family can't afford it. Sometimes I can bear it. For the poor, the heaviest burden is generally medical and educational expenditure, especially the phenomenon of returning to poverty due to illness. The expenses such as illness are uncontrollable, and more effective measures are needed to prevent poverty due to illness.
2. Single and unstable income increases the risk of returning to poverty.
The situation of the poor in my hometown and even in the whole country is similar. The family population is large, the main labor force is small, and the family income mainly depends on planting. However, planting is affected by many factors, such as rain, pests and diseases, natural disasters and so on. And the income is single and unstable. Although family laborers can work, they can only choose a work place close to home to take care of their families. Therefore, the income of the working poor is also unstable, which greatly increases the risk of returning to poverty.
At present, although industrial poverty alleviation projects have reduced the risk of poor people returning to poverty, most industrial poverty alleviation projects mainly rely on the relationship and resources of those responsible for helping. If the assistance policy is discontinuous and the work fault is out of line, there may be problems such as poor product sales, project shutdown and insufficient follow-up funds. The risk of returning to poverty still exists.
3. Risk of returning to poverty due to geological disasters such as floods.
Some poor households are affected by natural factors, such as serious natural disasters, which have a serious impact on the already fragile family economy. This risk still exists among people who have been lifted out of poverty. Although the later aid policy can help the poor to maintain their normal lives, the impact of natural disasters on the economy of poor families is irreversible.
Three. suggestion
1, accurately promote health and poverty alleviation
In view of the high risk of poor people returning to poverty due to illness, it is suggested to accurately promote health poverty alleviation, establish and improve the medical security mechanism, and further hold the bottom line of medical security for poor people. In order to reduce the pressure of poor households to see a doctor and prevent them from returning to poverty due to illness, a health poverty alleviation fund can be established to bear part of the medical expenses for poor households. The health poverty alleviation fund can not only share the medical expenses of poor households, but also enable poor households to get timely and effective treatment and reduce the occurrence of serious diseases.
2. Only when poor households generate income stably can the risk of returning to poverty be effectively reduced.
Developing industry is an important means to stabilize the income of poor households. Village-level industries can effectively cover the surrounding poor households and provide industrial development momentum and employment opportunities. In recent years, a number of village-level projects have been introduced in our township, which can generate income for poor households in a multi-industry, multi-channel and sustainable manner and reduce the risk of returning to poverty.
Industrial poverty alleviation projects mainly rely on the relationship and resources to help the responsible person. If the assistance policy is discontinuous and the work fault is out of line, there may be problems such as poor product sales, project shutdown and insufficient follow-up funds. It is also necessary to organically combine poverty alleviation with supporting ambition and wisdom, pay equal attention to' blood transfusion' and' hematopoiesis', fully stimulate the endogenous motivation and self-development ability of the masses, improve the supply level of rural talents, and build a defense line for returning to poverty through talent revitalization.
At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in stabilizing the employment of poor migrant workers and prevent them from returning home due to disasters and epidemics. For the "returning" poor laborers, actively help them solve their difficulties and encourage them to go out to work again to increase their income. For the poor laborers who can't go out for the time being, help them find jobs nearby, or help develop production to prevent the income from being greatly reduced.
3. Make an emergency work plan in advance.
In view of uncontrollable factors such as natural disasters, we should not only rely on aid policies after natural disasters, but also formulate emergency work plans in advance to reduce risks to the bud.
In daily work, we should strengthen dike construction, river regulation and reservoir engineering construction, and carry out soil and water conservation for a long time. Do a good job in scientific forecasting of floods and weather and rational planning of flood storage and detention areas. At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate the hidden dangers of infrastructure, regularly inspect the houses of poor households, and help them repair them in time.
Establish an emergency system for flood control and emergency rescue, and actively respond when natural disasters occur. At the same time, speed up the maintenance and reconstruction of damaged houses, roads, water conservancy and other poverty alleviation projects to ensure the safety of housing and drinking water for the poor. Help the poor people to help themselves in production, replant crops in time, develop "short-term and fast" planting and breeding projects, help to carry out agricultural insurance claims, and minimize the impact of disasters on the production of the poor people.
In short, there are many factors that affect poor households to return to poverty. We should find out the reasons for returning to poverty and prevent them in advance. To prevent returning to poverty, we should treat it differently and make precise policies according to different reasons. We should do a good job in dynamic monitoring, pay special attention to poor households close to the critical point, and take effective preventive measures to help them get rid of poverty steadily and live a better life.
