Miluo 汨罗

Miluo, Hunan, is putting idle assets to use and exploring a mutual-aid elderly care model.

In Miluo, Hunan, a targeted rectification initiative concerning elderly care reflects new changes in the outlook on political achievement. By putting existing idle assets to use, drawing on grassroots associations for older people and integrating social resources, the locality has explored and developed a mutual-aid elderly care model featuring "small investment, low cost, no need to leave home, an emphasis on public benefit, and sustainability." It has also worked with health authorities to gradually provide village doctors. Older people can now have hot meals and someone to look after them close to home, giving peace of mind to their children working away from home.
