Beijing's Drive to Modernize Its Emergency Medical Service

Abstract

Abstract The Beijing Emergency Medical Center, a Sino-Italian joint-efforts will be ready to open late this year (1988). Considered to be the first and best-equipped emergency service in China, the center will serve over ten million Beijing residents. In the next dozen years, 20 sub-centers will be set up as part of a renovation program of general hospitals and district-level first-aid stations.
