Medical assistance to the poor
One of the seven actions to win the battle against poverty
Not long ago, the central government held a working conference on poverty alleviation and development, made comprehensive arrangements for tackling poverty, listed the implementation of health poverty alleviation projects as one of the seven major actions to win the fight against poverty, and demanded efforts to ensure that the rural poor enjoy basic medical and health services and prevent them from returning to poverty due to illness. This is an important political task entrusted by the central government to the health and family planning system in the new period.
The meeting stressed that health and family planning departments at all levels should earnestly enhance their sense of responsibility, mission and urgency, put health poverty alleviation work in a more prominent position, mobilize superior industrial resources, and take more accurate and powerful unconventional measures to ensure victory in the battle against health poverty and provide health protection for the rural poor.

The implementation of health poverty alleviation projects will be regarded as the key tasks of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for health and deepening the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for medical reform, and will be included in the key tasks of the medical reform contact mechanism of the member units of the Party Committee. The policies and projects of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" health and family planning reform and development and professional planning arrangements should be tilted to the poverty-stricken people in poverty-stricken areas to the maximum extent. When researching projects, formulating policies, arranging funds and implementing work, we should focus on poverty-stricken areas and health poverty alleviation work and give preferential support. It is necessary to strengthen overall coordination, assessment and supervision to ensure the smooth implementation of the health poverty alleviation project.
