This year, we will step up efforts to tackle key problems in deeply poverty-stricken areas. The newly increased central government funds for poverty alleviation will be mainly used in these areas. The 13th Five Year Plan will give priority to projects to remedy weak spots in poverty-stricken areas, strengthen poverty alleviation cooperation and targeted poverty alleviation, adhere to the current standards, improve the quality of poverty alleviation, and solve the problems of "two worries and three guarantees" for the poor.

First, we need to accelerate the improvement of the cancer diagnosis and treatment system. Adhere to prevention first, promote cancer screening, early diagnosis and early treatment, and strive to reduce mortality. Strengthen scientific and technological research and support clinical research and application of new tumor diagnosis and treatment technologies. Develop "Internet+medical treatment" and improve the diagnosis and treatment capacity of grass-roots medical institutions. Second, accelerate the registration and approval of new anti-cancer drugs at home and abroad to meet the urgent needs of patients. Organize experts to select overseas new drugs urgently needed clinically, improve import policies, and promote the simultaneous listing of overseas new drugs in China. The temporary import channel of anticancer drugs urgently needed in clinic should be unblocked. We will implement measures such as price reduction of anti-cancer drugs and medical assistance for cancer patients, revise management measures, speed up the frequency of adjustment of the medical insurance drug catalog, and include more life-saving anti-cancer drugs and other drugs into medical insurance, so as to ease the difficulty and high cost of drug use.

Second, introduce long-term investors such as funds and annuities to participate in bank capital increase and share expansion, support financial subsidiaries of commercial banks to invest in bank capital supplement bonds, and encourage foreign financial institutions to participate in bond market transactions. The meeting stressed that commercial banks with supplemented capital should improve their internal mechanisms and improve their loan support to private, small and micro enterprises.
