Li Xianghong, 29, is a registered poor household in Lijiapodi Village, Yuping Township, Linxian County, Shanxi Province. Her father died of illness and her mother suffered from mental illness. Unfortunately, he suffered from tuberculosis and meningoencephalitis.

Li Xianghong was transferred to a hospital in Taiyuan for treatment at a cost of 31010.98 yuan. After being discharged from the hospital and returned to Linxian, the basic medical reimbursement was 15013.04 yuan, the critical illness insurance reimbursement was 4506.53 yuan, the reimbursement for “136” was 5371.45 yuan. and the reimbursement of supplementary health insurance for the poor population was 601.97 yuan. In the end, he paid 5517.99 yuan.

“Thanks to such a good policy, or the debt that is due to this disease, it will not end,” Li Xianghong told everyone.

The good policy, Li Xianghong said, is the health poverty alleviation policy issued by Shanxi Province for poor patients to consult a doctor. It is understood that in order to effectively solve the problem of spending-based poverty of the deeply impoverished population, Shanxi Province has adopted special policies and measures in stages and introduced the health poverty alleviation policy “136”, ie , the poor are hospitalized at the county, city and province levels, and each year Self-pay limits are respectively 1,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan and 6,000 yuan. All expenses above the self-pay limits are reimbursed from the health insurance fund.

“For ordinary families, contracting a serious illness is undoubtedly a disaster. Poverty by illness and the return to poverty by illness are the difficulties in the fight against poverty, but you should not let a poor person be left behind by illness . “, said Zhang Jiancheng, deputy director of Shanxi Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office.

At the same time, Shanxi Province also launched a “double contract” service for health and poverty alleviation. The family doctor team and the village cadre team signed contracts with people who became poor due to illness and returned to poverty due to illness, and the family doctor signed a service team to solve the treatment problem doctor of the poor. Rural cadres signed a service team to solve the problem of medical reimbursement for the poor.

“Mother, have you finished the medicine you were prescribed last time? Has your stomach pain improved?” “Uncle, how are you feeling? Let me measure your blood pressure and heart rate first” … Recently, in Beigang, Qi County, Shanxi En Toucun Province, the village doctor Wen Xiaoliang carefully examined the villagers while patiently explaining the health poverty alleviation policy.

Beigangtou Village has a registered population of 330 people, including 32 families with 63 people registered in households affected by poverty and 21 households with 36 people suffering from diseases. According to Wen Xiaoliang, since 2017, the county government has invested around 80,000 yuan to first equip the village clinic with various medical facilities to improve diagnostic and treatment conditions, and install air conditioning to meet the medical needs of the villagers. .

“There are still 36 people with high blood pressure and 16 people with diabetes in the village. I give them regular medical check-ups every month and provide health counseling,” Wen Xiaoliang said.

Health is in charge, illness is treated, reimbursement is available for treatment, and serious illnesses are helped. A series of effective measures in Shanxi have made targeted efforts to make the poor truly feel the changes, warmth and benefits brought about by health and poverty alleviation.

“In recent years, Shanxi Province has established a security health care system for the poor in rural areas. This has basically solved the problem of people in deeply impoverished areas of ‘poverty due to disease and return to poverty due to disease’. In 2015, the number of 551,900 people decreased to less than 300,000, and the number of illnesses for centralized treatment of serious illnesses expanded from 9 to 24, and the actual rate of reimbursement for hospitalization averaged more than 90%. ‘ ‘said the head of the Shanxi Provincial Health Commission.
