[《柳叶刀》重大报告] 关于中国健康扶贫倡议的《柳叶刀》重大报告
摘要
扶贫是一项紧迫的全球挑战，与健康密切相关，这一点在可持续发展目标（SDGs）中得到了强调。2019年，自付医疗支出——即由个人或家庭直接支付而非由保险或其他第三方支付方承担的医疗费用——使全球额外3440万人陷入贫困。2020年，有7.24亿人生活在极端贫困中，极端贫困定义为按2017年购买力平价计算每人每天生活费低于2.15美元，这比联合国在新冠疫情前的预测多出9000万人。

Poverty alleviation is a pressing global challenge that is intricately linked with health, as emphasised by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2019, out-of-pocket health expenditure—health-care costs paid directly by individuals or households rather than covered by insurance or other third-party payers—pushed an additional 344 million people into poverty globally. In 2020, 724 million people were living in extreme poverty, defined as living on less than US$2·15 per person per day at 2017 purchasing power parity, 90 million more than the pre-COVID-19 pandemic UN projection.
