Risk of falling back into poverty due to illness

1. Return to poverty due to illness

Poverty due to illness and return to poverty due to illness have always been prominent issues in poverty alleviation work, especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and uremia. For those with chronic or serious illnesses such as cancer and leukemia, almost all of the family income is spent on medical treatment.

A considerable number of poor people suffer from long-term chronic diseases. When their conditions worsen, they are often hesitant to go to the hospital. It costs a lot to go to the hospital. If the harvest in the fields is mediocre and there are few job opportunities, the family cannot afford it. For the poor, the heaviest burden is generally on medical and education expenditures, especially when poverty due to illness leads to a return to poverty. Expenditures such as illness are uncontrollable, and more effective measures are needed to prevent people from falling back into poverty due to illness.

2. Single and unstable income increases the risk of returning to poverty

The situation of the poor people in our hometown and even the poor people across the country is roughly similar. The family population is large and the 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, etc., and the income is single and unstable. Although the family's labor force can work, but to take care of the family, they can only choose a working place close to home. This results in the unstable income of the poor from working and greatly increases the risk of falling back into poverty.

Although the current industrial poverty alleviation projects have reduced some of the risk of returning to poverty for the poor, most industrial poverty alleviation projects still mainly rely on the relationships and resources of the person in charge of assistance. If the assistance policies are not continued and the work is interrupted, If there is a disconnect, problems such as poor product sales, project suspension, and lack of follow-up funds may occur. The risk of falling back into poverty still exists.

3. Risk of returning to poverty due to floods and geological disasters

Some poor households become poor due to natural factors. For example, if they suffer severe natural disasters, they will have a serious impact on the already weak family economy. Among people who have escaped poverty, this risk remains. Although later assistance policies can help the affected poor people maintain normal lives, the economic impact of natural disasters on poor families is irreversible.

3. Recommendations

1. Precisely promote health poverty alleviation

Based on the current risk status of poor people returning to poverty due to illness, it is recommended to accurately promote health poverty alleviation and establish and improve medical security mechanism to further secure the bottom line of medical security for the poor. In order to reduce the pressure of medical treatment for poor households 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 allow poor households to receive timely and effective medical treatment, reducing the occurrence of serious illnesses.

2. Only when poor households steadily generate income can they effectively reduce the risk of returning to poverty

Developing industries is an important means to stabilize the income of poor households. Village-level industries can effectively cover surrounding poor households and provide industrial development Motivation and employment opportunities. In the past few years, our township has introduced a number of village-level projects to steadily 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 also mainly rely on the relationships and resources of the person in charge of assistance. If the assistance policies are not continued and the work is disconnected, there may be poor sales of products, the suspension of projects, and insufficient follow-up funds. And other issues. It is also necessary to organically combine poverty alleviation with support of aspirations and intelligence, pay equal attention to 'blood transfusion' and 'hemopoiesis', fully stimulate the endogenous motivation and self-development ability of the people, improve the level of rural talent supply, and build a defense line to prevent return to poverty through talent revitalization. .

At the same time, we must do a good job in stabilizing the employment of poor migrant workers and preventing "returns" caused by disasters and epidemics. For poor laborers who have "returned", we will actively help them solve their difficulties and encourage them to go out to work again to increase their income. For poor laborers who are temporarily unable to go out, help them find employment nearby or help develop production to prevent a significant reduction in income.

3. Develop emergency work plans in advance

In view of uncontrollable factors such as natural disasters, we cannot only rely on support policies after natural disasters. We must formulate emergency work plans in advance. state to minimize risks.

In daily work, we must strengthen embankment construction, river regulation and reservoir engineering construction, and promote soil and water conservation in the long term. Effectively carry out scientific forecasts of floods and weather and rational planning of flood detention areas. At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate hidden dangers in infrastructure, conduct regular inspections on the houses of poor households, and help them repair them in a timely manner.

Establish an emergency response system for flood prevention and rescue to actively respond when natural disasters occur. At the same time, we will speed up the repair and reconstruction of damaged houses, roads, water conservancy and other poverty alleviation projects to ensure that the housing and drinking water of the poor are safe and secure. Help poor people to carry out self-rescue in production, replant crops in a timely manner, develop "short-term, flat and fast" planting and breeding projects, help with agricultural insurance claims settlement, and minimize the impact of disasters on the production of poor people.

In short, there are various factors that affect poor households returning to poverty. It is necessary to identify the reasons for returning to poverty and prevent them in advance. To prevent people from returning to poverty, we need to target different causes, treat them differently, and implement precise policies. It is necessary to do a good job in dynamic monitoring, pay special attention to households that have been lifted out of poverty close to the "critical point", and take effective and effective preventive measures to help them stabilize and lift themselves out of poverty and live better and better lives.
