中国历史上的农村济贫与医疗救助

我国历史上有着深厚的济贫思想和广泛的济贫实践活动，农村贫困医疗救助是与统治者主持开展的救灾救荒和扶贫济困行为密切相联系的，而长期以来乡村社会以情感和道德为主体的互助救济则作为医疗救助的最重要形式。现代意义上的贫困医疗救助制度要继承和借鉴农村济贫思想和发挥多方力量共同参与的优良传统，建立与经济社会发展相适应的贫困医疗救助制度，这是农村反贫困战略的重要组成部分，也是历史发展的必然要求。

Historical succour of poverty and medical assistance in rural China

There was considerable attention paid to the succour of poverty with widespread practice in China's history.Succour of poverty and medical assistance in rural areas were closely connected with famine relief carried out by the rulers.The mutual assistance of emotional and moral support long-term in rural communities is the most important form of medical assistance.A succour of poverty and medical assistance system in the modern sense should inherit and learn from the past consideration of poverty assistance and bring in the fine tradition of multiple forces to participate,in order to establish a succour of poverty and medical assistance system compatible with economic and social development.This is not only an important component of anti-poverty strategy in rural areas but also an inevitable requirement of historical development.
