A top health official on Tuesday (June 30) said health authorities at various levels in China should improve their emergency medical relief systems to cover all those in need. \r\nHospitals should provide medical aid according to relevant standards and regulations to anyone suffering serious diseases who cannot afford medical bills or whose identity is not known at the time of treatment, said Ma Xiaowei, vice-minister in charge of the National Health and Family Planning Commission. China started to establish a nationwide system to provide emergency medical relief to special groups in need in early 2013. |
