China opened its first emergency mobile center for cases of poisoning in Guiyang, capital of southwestern China’s Guizhou province on Dec 6.
The center is stationed at the Guizhou People's Hospital and is expected to increase the local capacity of dealing with emergent cases of poisoning.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), China will open 11 emergency mobile centers all around the country.
The center in Guizhou will offer professional treatment, including on-the-spot surveys, tests, individual protection and medical security.
Cases of poisoning emergencies in recent years from around the world will be analyzed to improve the training and exercise of health emergency staff.
