Medical service
Chinese hospitals are classified into three general levels from 1 -3. Level 3 hospitals provide the highest standard of care, while level 1 facilities meet the lowest standards. There are also three sub-levels from A-C, with A being the highest and C the lowest. The best hospitals in China are always classified as 3A, but there are also cases of hospitals with a classification of 3A+, meaning they provide some of the best medical treatment in the country.
Shenzhen has a wide array of medical institutions to meet any need. As of 2019, Shenzhen had 453 community health centers located across the city, and more are being added every year as the local government is promoting the use and trust of grassroots health centers for minor ailments in an effort to alleviate congestion at the major hospitals.
When you register at a hospital for the first time, you will be given a white booklet, in which the doctor will record your health history. Make sure to hold on to this book to avoid having to repeat certain tests. You may need to bring it back for further visits.
As a city on China' s cutting edge of technology as well as cultural opening up, Shenzhen has been selected to host pilot programs in many industries, including health care.
Smart Hospitals
The city is piloting a new infectious disease control program aided by advanced communications technologies that allow doctors to diagnose and treat patients remotely. Also, before a patient arrives at the hospital, real-time data, images and their conditions will be transmitted from the ambulance to the hospital within milliseconds, so that ER doctors can formulate a plan in advance and have the OR prepared.
Online Nursing Services
Sixteen institutions in the city are part of a pilot program trialing the booking program and lnternet+ nursing service. Information on the hospitals' nurses will be published on the unified platform. Medical consultations will be offered at a standard price of 300 yuan per session. The services will mainly cover basic nursing services like changing dressings, taking out stitches and providing guidance on home care for patients recently discharged from hospitals, as well as chronic disease management, rehabilitation nursing, geriatric nursing, Chinese medicine nursing, maternal and childcare, orthopedic nursing and services for newborns. Service providers are all physical medical institutions with professional certifications and at least five years of clinical experience. Patients with complicated or unstable conditions, or whose treatment involves medical risks or drugs that are under special management, are not eligible for the service. Such patients must visit a hospital in person.
Southern Medical University Shenzhen Hospital and Nanshan District People' s Hospital have already been accredited as lnternet+ hospitals

AEDs
In 2019, Shenzhen Medical Emergency Center has installed 1645 AEDs in public areas.
An additional 1,000 AEDs have been installed this year at checkpoints, railway stations, ferry terminals, communities, parks, sports and culture venues, social welfare and aid centers and schools.
The center has also released a WeChat mini-app to help the public locate AEDs.
Helicopter Rescue
The Shenzhen traffic police is cooperating with Dongbu General Aviation Co. Ltd. to provide paramedics helicopter services for cases when fatalities and injuries are reported in accidents where ground rescue won' t be able to arrive at the scene in a timely manner. A data-sharing mechanism will help streamline ground support to ensure patients can be brought to hospitals quickly. The helicopter service will also cover natural disasters and expressway patrols.
Centralized Drug Procurement
Twenty-five drugs have been selected for the adoption of centralized procurement from 2019to 2020. The average price of these drugs has dropped by 23 percent, with the biggest decline reaching 74 percent.
