Illness-induced poverty remains a major issue on a global scale. China has initiated the model of integration of elderly care and medical services in community (IEMC). Using the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) (2014–18), this article examines the effects of IEMC on illness-induced poverty among older adults in China. Findings show that IEMC has reduced the incidence of illness-induced poverty among older adults by improving their health level, promoting outpatient service utilisation and increasing income from spouses’ labour market participation and offspring transfers. This article recommends a comprehensive development of the IEMC model and enhancing its service capacity.
