CDPF chairwoman: Accelerate development of care services for people with severe disabilities
China Dailycdpf.org.cn Updated: 2019-03-13 Zhang Haidi speaks at the third plenary meeting of the second session of the 13th CPPCC National Committee in Beijing on Mar 10. China must accelerate the development of care services for people with severe disabilities, said Zhang Haidi, chairwoman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation, in her keynote speech at the third plenary meeting of the second session of the 13th CPPCC National Committee in Beijing on Mar 10. Care services are part of the basic public services of the society, and providing care services to people with severe disabilities is also an important aspect of poverty alleviation in China. Although a system for subsidies for people with severe disabilities is currently in place, poor and low-income areas still lack sufficient funds to support care services. First, improve supporting policies and measures for care services for people with severe disabilities, and improve the financial security system.
