Abstract

Hydatid disease is one of the 17 neglected tropical diseases recognized by WHO and causes a huge global disease burden. Hydatid disease poses a great threat to local medical poverty alleviation. In efforts to break the vicious circle of poverty, Hydatid disease has been widely concerned and discussed. In the practice of poverty alleviation in China, medical poverty alleviation is regarded as the double goal of getting rid of poverty and promoting the construction of a healthy China. On the basis of on-the-spot investigation in Yushu Prefecture, this paper conducts a follow up study on the poverty-causing effect of Hydatid disease and the precision medical assistance pattern of government using a field investigation method. The results show that Hydatid disease led to the increase of poverty in the population in Yushu Prefecture, precision medical assistance played an obvious role in treating Hydatid disease and poverty alleviation, the health service in the study area continues to improve and the medical backbone team further expanded. The main conclusion is that the three-level diagnosis and treatment framework can effectively reduce local poverty and improve people's living environment.
