BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) -- China's health authorities have encouraged qualified community hospitals across the country to set up fever clinics to better handle infectious diseases.
Citing a circular issued by the National Health Commission, a China Daily report Tuesday said that medical staff at primary healthcare providers will receive regular training regarding infectious diseases, such as case detection during regular health checks.
It is part of the country's efforts to improve grassroots medical institutions' capabilities in coping with infectious disease outbreaks, the report said.
The circular highlighted the need to make up for the shortfalls exposed during the epidemic and coordinate disease control work with the provisions of other health services. Enditem
