China to rely on technology to cope with the healthcare demands of its people.
Patients need to have plenty of patience, especially in China’s under-resourced health care system where rural parents often travel with their sick children to seek treatment at Beijing’s Children Hospital but end up having to literally camp outside because of a shortage of lodgings in the city, or where the needs of the ageing population are rising with more than 200 million people aged over 60, equivalent to the entire population of Indonesia.
It is no wonder the country is so eager to embrace technology to meet the overflowing demand for health care services.
