A new Lancet Commission report, launched by Tsinghua University, analyzes China's health poverty alleviation policies from 2015 to 2020, revealing insights for other countries aiming to protect vulnerable households and advance health equity. The report details approximately 1.4 trillion yuan invested in health-related poverty alleviation and the establishment of a national monitoring system for over 80 million low-income rural residents. It also notes a decrease in out-of-pocket inpatient expenses for people living in poverty from 41.0% in 2013 to 31.0% in 2018.
