Community health centers provide convenient care for elderly

With respiratory diseases on the rise in China during winter, a key issue for primary-level communities to address was how to make it more convenient for the more vulnerable and elderly to receive treatment.

Thanks to the efforts from both State and local authorities, it is no longer a major concern for the public.

At a community health center in Shanghai's Huangpu district, despite it being late at night, doctors, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, recovery and rehabilitation services as well as nursing services were still available to the elderly as part of the night clinic.
