Re: forty million survey on needy children: two meals a day, lunch is a lunch.
in contrast to many "small fat pier" in the city, children in many poverty-stricken areas are still a problem, lack of nutrition and retardation are common phenomenon, and their health is worrying.
9 years old this year, webo looks only 5, 6 years old, he and the more than 20 weight of the basket seem extremely discordant
two meals a day, lunch
10 o'clock in the morning, holding a large bowl of pumpkin congee bowl, sitting in a steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed steamed bun, 13 year old Feng turning over wolves Swallowing the tiger to eat, this is her daily breakfast. After eating this meal, the next meal will not be eaten until after school in the afternoon.
Feng turning is a boarding student for grade three in the Central Primary School of Yanchuan County, Shaanxi province. In this mountain ditches deep in the poor mountainous areas of Northern Shaanxi, two meals a day are normal. At school, the reporter saw a student schedule, which showed that in the near 14 hours from 6:50 in the morning to 8:40 p.m., only the morning and the afternoon were two meals.
the school will distribute a box of milk and an egg at the same time every day for the students. When Feng Fanfan gets the milk and eggs, he is reluctant to eat it and carefully locks it into the dorm cabinet. "Eat when you are hungry at night." She explained that in the evening, schools usually eat noodles, and they will still be hungry after evening study.
in ggan Gou elementary school in dalltu Township, Ledu County, Qinghai Province, Li Yongxiang, a grade 1 native boy, is 8 years old this year. He gets up at 7 o'clock every morning, eats a bag of instant noodles, and then goes to school for half an hour with a few small partners. When the reporter asked him what he had for lunch, he and his small partners took out plastic bags from their schoolbags, some of them wrapped in oil and some of them were buns. "The school will deliver a bag of milk at noon and eat it with milk." Li Yongxiang said. In addition to milk, schools will also send an apple and a peach cake.
in addition to the normal three meals nutrition guarantee is not in place, the various kinds of mountain fastness food and "junk food", which have the hidden dangers of food safety around the campus, have also been a danger to the health of children. O 'O, biscuit, green and white chewing gum... Around the schools in many poor mountainous areas, the "three non food" or "Shanzhai food", which are modeled on famous brands, are often seen as a rare "delicacy" in the eyes of the children.
Feng flip told reporters that what she and her classmates most want to eat is instant noodles, sometimes a piece of two pieces of pocket money to save to buy 80 Fen bags of instant noodles to eat.
undernutrition retardation
in the deep mountain of Guangxi Dahua Yao Autonomous County, Ya long Township, the reporter is deeply attracted by a child's figure on a side road: the boy is only a little more than one meter tall, but is carrying a 2/3 big back basket with a body.
how old are you? What's in the basket? " Asked the reporter. The boy did not answer. Instead, he stopped, slowly unloaded the strap on his forehead and looked at the reporter blankly. His nose was running, his corners were rotten, and his mouth was drooling.
more than 20 meters behind the boy is his parents. As the basket on the back of the body is too heavy, he is stopping to rest. The reporter got up and talked to them. The child is Wei Bo, and the family is in Tun Tun, 4 kilometers away. Reporters asked to see their home. The couple were very quiet and said they had to walk for 1.5 hours. Reporters for Wei Bo carrying a basket, the basket is very heavy, no less than 20 jin. At once, Weber laughed and began to move forward briskly.
the reporter gave Wei Bo some orchid beans and mineral water that he carried with him. He then shyly pulled it and refused to eat it. At last, he reached a hill and suddenly found that Wei Po, who had been walking ahead, disappeared. Then he heard a few coughs. He was hiding behind a stone and quietly eating the orchid beans. He was choking with food.
her mother, Zhang Ai, said Wei Bo was 9 years old. The 20 kilograms of the basket on his shoulders everyday, makes him look only the height of the five or six year old boy in the city.
reporter has learned that the lack of adequate nutrition, low weight, retardation and anemia have become an important issue affecting the growth of children in poor areas. Chen Chunming, a well-known nutrition expert at China Center for Disease Control and prevention, paid attention to children in poverty-stricken areas for a long time. She told reporters that in 2010, the growth retardation rate of children under 5 years of age in China was 9.9%, of which the city was only 3.4%, reaching the level of developed countries, but the growth retardation rate of children in poor counties was over 20% and was in moderate severity.
Chen Faqin, director of the disease control office of the the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of health, said the monitoring data showed that the growth retardation rate, low weight rate and anemia rate of children in the poor rural areas of Guangxi in 2010 were 21.6%, 22% and 16.9%, respectively, 21 times, 9 times and 1.7 times of urban children respectively.
China student nutrition and Health Promotion Association's Chinese child nutrition and health report shows that in poor areas, rural students generally have "nutritional poverty", and nearly half of the students can not eat three meals a day. In one month, 1/3 students can not eat meat, 2/3 can not eat eggs.
in addition to undernutrition, malnutrition caused by lack of trace elements is also a prominent problem affecting children's health especially under 3 years of age. According to the China Development Research Foundation's survey of poverty-stricken counties in Qinghai, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces, the anemia rate of pregnant women and children under 2 years old is over 50%. Chen Chunming said that the high incidence of anemia can seriously affect the development of children's brain, skeleton and intelligence, and the loss will be difficult to make up for life.
"the health status of rural children is a muddled account"
in an interview, the reporter found that the basic public medical services in the poor areas are difficult to be in place except for the widespread lack of nutrition, and the health level of the poor children has a large gap with the urban children.
Wang Yuanlun, deputy director of the County Health Bureau, Yongxin County, Jiangxi province in the mountain area of Luo Xiao mountain, said: "the medical examination rate of rural children is not high, but only a few items of height and weight can be completed in the physical examination project, but the lack of equipment in township hospitals because of the lack of equipment."
"the health of children in rural areas is muddled." Lan Shouhui, the chief executive of the Duan County Health Bureau in Guangxi, said, "in urban schools, children generally have a physical examination every semester, and such public health services are difficult for children in rural poor mountainous areas."
planned vaccination can effectively help children prevent and control the occurrence and prevalence of infectious diseases. But the reporter went deep into the mountain area to interview and learned that children's vaccine leakage happens frequently in poor rural areas. Zhang Aixin told reporters that, because the school is too far away from home, the 9 year old Wei Bo has not been to study, has never been vaccinated, and no one has told them the need for "injections".
a grass-roots health worker said: "the rural areas are very wide, in some villages and towns, the epidemic doctors in the village may only be inoculated for one child for one day, with only 35 yuan per needle for labor costs. This will affect their enthusiasm. " In recent years, Guizhou Ziyun county and Du'an County, Guangxi and other parts of the rural areas have also caused an outbreak of infectious diseases because of leaking vaccine, which seriously endangers children's health.
at the same time, due to poor nutrition and sanitation, children in poor areas have also become high-risk groups with multiple diseases. It is understood that pneumonia, congenital heart disease, leukemia and so on have become the health killers of children in rural poor areas, and respiratory and contagious infectious diseases have increased in recent years. From 2010 to 2012, 316 cases of hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) in Guangxi were found, of which 233 cases were in rural areas, accounting for 74%.
Gong Xiaomin, director of the medical and political office of the Jiangxi provincial health department, said that the early stage of hand foot and mouth disease is a cold symptom, the critical hand foot and mouth disease is very fast, from the onset to death is only three days, the condition does not allow children to turn in the hospital. In rural areas, children in the countryside, "cold" first choice of village doctors and township hospitals, because the level of diagnosis and treatment is limited, treatment time is easily delayed, therefore, the mortality of children with hand foot and mouth disease in rural areas is higher.
"the health condition of children in poor rural areas is worrying." , director of Rural Health Department of Jiangxi Provincial Department of health, said, "with HFMD as an example, 99% of the critical cases of HFMD in rural children's hospital are rural areas."
