According to Jiang Baoguo, president of Peking University People's Hospital, the core problems of trauma treatment in China are multiple transferring, a lack of medical experts specializing in trauma treatment, and the trauma treatment system.

In 2019, the center established a national trauma treatment system that covers 28 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in the country, and built nine trauma treatment training bases.

"We have built a model utilizing the existing medical facilities and staff that suits the Chinese condition, and the cost is low," Jiang said.

Under the Chinese National Center of Trauma Medicine, there are three commissions: organ protection commission, brain trauma commission and medical quality control commission.

"We hope that public hospitals in China will achieve high-quality development in the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25). In addition to the national trauma center, we also are planning to set up a national chest pain center," said Jiao Yahui, an official with the National Health Commission.
