WUHAN, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's first military maritime medical aid simulation training system has made its public debut.

The system, jointly developed by the Sixth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital and a number of other institutions, aims at improving medical personnel's capability of providing medical aid in naval battles.
