Blood transfusion poverty alleviation refers to the way of free investment, which mainly solves the basic living problems of a stage problem or special difficult groups. For example, providing living allowances to poor families and providing free medical care. Although this kind of blood transfusion poverty alleviation can help in the short term, it may be difficult to recover the previous investment without follow-up investment.

Hematopoietic poverty alleviation is a kind of paid investment and service, and its goal is to establish the ability of sustainable development and solve the problem of long-term development. Mainly through industrial poverty alleviation and employment poverty alleviation, improve the "hematopoietic" function of poor areas. For example, providing technical training and setting up micro-credit to help the poor get rid of poverty and achieve sustainable development.

In reality, these two ways of helping the poor have their own advantages and disadvantages and need to be combined. Blood transfusion poverty alleviation can help in the short term, and hematopoietic poverty alleviation can build long-term development ability. Therefore, the poverty alleviation work should pay more attention to long-term effect, and at the same time, we should actively explore the methods of hematopoietic poverty alleviation to realize the sustainable development of poverty-stricken areas.
