Recently, 11 military and civilian departments in Xiamen, Fujian Province jointly issued the "Measures for Providing Preferential Treatment for Parents of Active Soldiers", providing preferential services for parents of active soldiers from multiple dimensions, so that the "cutest person" can have peace of mind in the rear. It is reported that the Measures will be officially implemented from September 10th this year. The issue of elderly care for parents of active duty military personnel has always been a concern in the hearts of soldiers and a key area of focus for Xiamen's military support work. ”The relevant person in charge of Xiamen Veterans Affairs Bureau told reporters that at the National Double Support Model City (County) Naming Conference at the end of April this year, it was clearly required that all levels should put forward measures to provide preferential services and guarantees for military personnel and their families, and use their hearts and emotions to help solve the problems that military personnel care about, such as children's education, family employment, and parents' retirement. In the process of formulating measures, the military and civilian research team went deep into the stationed units in their jurisdiction to understand the actual needs of the parents of active duty soldiers. The difficulties faced by officers and soldiers mainly focus on parental elderly care, medical and health care, housing security, and other aspects, "said the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Veterans Affairs Bureau, especially the safety of elderly people living alone, emergency response to sudden illnesses, and daily life care services, which are all issues of concern to everyone. Based on the research results, 11 military and civilian departments in Xiamen have joined hands to build a comprehensive preferential treatment system from seven dimensions, including elderly care services, living security, medical and health care, housing security, employment and entrepreneurship, legal services, and honor incentives, around the path of "providing support, escorting, assisting, and guaranteeing". The purpose is to put the concept of respecting soldiers into practice, so that active duty soldiers can truly feel the warmth from the rear and work hard in the military camp with peace of mind, "said the leader of Xiamen Veterans Affairs Bureau. A major highlight of the "Measures" introduced this time is the shift in preferential treatment for parents of active duty military personnel from "emotional comfort" to "practical assistance". For example, in terms of medical and health care, parents of active military personnel can enjoy "four priority" services such as outpatient visits, medication collection, payment, and hospitalization. They are given priority in signing up with family doctors, and those who meet the conditions can also apply for on-site diagnosis and treatment, family beds, and other services, truly connecting the "in-hospital+in-hospital" health service chain; In terms of elderly care services, for parents of low-income, disabled, and elderly active military personnel who meet the conditions, priority will be given to moving into public elderly care institutions under the same conditions, and priority will be given to providing family elderly care beds and regular visitation and care services. Parents of active military personnel who live alone, are elderly, or disabled can apply for the installation of "neighborhood health" elderly care equipment as a priority, and be included in key care objects to ensure timely response to emergencies, and to extend from "institution priority" to "family beds+emergency assistance"; In terms of housing security, priority support will be given to the parents of active military personnel who meet the conditions for affordable housing or rural dilapidated housing renovation. Rural homestead applications will also be included in the priority approval scope, and efforts will be made simultaneously in both urban and rural areas to overcome policy bottlenecks. In addition to being led by the government, the Measures also encourage the participation of multiple entities: on the one hand, charitable organizations, caring enterprises, and military support platforms supplement their positions and enhance their warmth through paired assistance, preferential services, and other means; On the other hand, expanding policy outreach through media propaganda has formed a social support for the military pattern of "everyone supporting and participating in the dual support".
