This free clinic action is an important measure of the Changchun Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office and the Organization Department of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee to "learn the history of the party, enlighten the mind, do practical things, and open a new bureau", and is another innovative "doing practical things" project based on the full investigation and demonstration of rural poverty alleviation households and the pilot free medical screening through health assistance.
The free clinic action covers all poverty alleviation villages in Jiutai, Shuangyang, Yushu, Nong'an, Dehui and Gongzhuling counties (cities), mainly poverty alleviation households, extending to the frontline staff of poverty alleviation and all villagers, basically achieving full coverage of villagers who are willing to screen, which can effectively prevent villagers from becoming poor due to eye diseases and returning to poverty due to eye diseases.
At the event site, Li Wencheng, deputy director of Changchun Poverty Alleviation and Development Office, Qi Yanhui, director of the Organization Department of Changchun Municipal Party Committee, Liu Jinghui, vice president of Changchun Poverty Alleviation and Development Federation, Su Gang, president of Changchun First Secretary Association in Villages, and Gu Shuyan, CEO of Jilin Province of Aier Eye Hospital Group, attended the launching ceremony and lit up the starting ball.
Liu Jinghui, vice president of Changchun Poverty Alleviation and Development Federation, said: "All along, Changchun Poverty Alleviation and Development Federation has built a social poverty alleviation platform, and the social welfare activities initiated by the federation have received strong support from responsible enterprises from all walks of life, and everyone has done their best to help each other, passing on a virtue of mutual help and mutual love, and also driving more enterprises to join the activities of helping. The eye health free clinic action can be carried out smoothly, but also thanks to the strong support of Changchun Aier Eye Hospital, the preliminary preparation of the activity took a month, organized manpower and material resources to go to the countryside for free clinics, and solved the problem of eye health of villagers. Wang Yong, deputy director of the Department of Cataracts at Changchun Aier Eye Hospital, said that it is necessary to do a good job in medical protection for free clinics in the countryside and help villagers solve the problem of eye diseases.
As the initiator of this event, Li Wencheng, deputy director of the Changchun Poverty Alleviation and Development Office, said: "In the process of consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation and transforming to rural revitalization, health support is more important in the next step of rural revitalization. In the next step of preventing people from returning to poverty, we will mainly focus on the people who are poor due to disability. This time, we will start from eye diseases, and in the future, we will also carry out screening for heart disease, cancer and other diseases, as well as early intervention and early treatment of other chronic diseases, and build a platform for healthy poverty alleviation for the people who have been lifted out of poverty from the perspective of health support. Before the ceremony was launched, Aier Ophthalmology had sent several medical teams to some counties (cities) in Changchun City to conduct early free clinics, which were unanimously praised by the vast number of poverty-alleviated people and villagers, and were well received by the masses. To this end, on the basis of the previous practice, we have expanded to all the poor villages in the city, and the scope is not limited to the people who have been lifted out of poverty, as long as they are in the village location, people with conditions and wishes can participate in the free clinic, so that the entire free clinic action covers a wider range, benefits more people, and has a more far-reaching impact. ”
Li Dongbo, vice president of the First Secretary Association and first secretary of the village, said in an interview with reporters: "When the free clinic was carried out in Xiuyan Village, Mishazi Town, Dehui City, more than 200 villagers were initially expected to come, and as a result, after mobilization and notification in the village, more than 400 villagers came to receive free clinics, and everyone had a great demand for eye health screening. After the doctor's examination, it was found that many villagers had eye problems and needed further treatment. This free clinic activity allows villagers to effectively prevent potential eye problems through early screening, so as to prevent them as soon as possible and seek medical treatment in time. To a large extent, it can reduce the burden on the villagers, and this free clinic activity has also been recognized by the villagers. ”
Gu Shuyan, CEO of Jilin Province, Aier Eye Hospital Group, said that Changchun Aier Eye Hospital is a designated medical institution of the national "Bright Poverty Alleviation Project" in Changchun City.
