"After they are reimbursed from the medical insurance and the serious illness insurance, the government together with other commercial insurance companies will take care of the rest," said Qiu Zhijiang, an official with the insurance regulatory bureau.

The new insurance program has already started in many areas nationwide including Xining in Qinghai and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

ANTI-CORRUPTION

Anti-corruption is another priority in China's war against poverty, according to the guideline.

The country's top anti-graft body, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China, earlier this year opened a new section on its website to expose cases of corruption and misconduct in poverty alleviation.

Among the first 24 cases exposed, six were involved in the misappropriation or theft of funds intended for renovating old houses, and other violations involved embezzling job training funds and dereliction of duty.

Li Linqing, former Party chief of Caozhuang village in central China's Henan Province, was found to have reallocated more than 67,000 yuan of house renovation funds for other purposes.

Li was expelled from the Party, with his case transferred to judicial departments for further investigation.

The move is part of CCDI's three-year campaign launched to keep high alert on graft in case it interferes with the poverty relief work.
