China’s first cloud hospital is now open for business, according to an article on the business-cloud.com website. The cloud hospital is one of the new ways that the Chinese people can get medical attention more quickly.
There are no general practicianers in China, and people can line up for hours outside hospitals to be registered and then obtain an appointment with a doctor.
The cloud hospitaL has signed up more than a thousand brick-and-mortar health facilities offering services as a portal to the doctors including an initial diagnosis and direction to an appropriate doctor.
The cloud hospitaL also has four dedicated clinics that relate to diabetes, hypertension, psychology and family planning. Initially there are 226 registered cloud doctors but by July 2015 organizers hope that the number will climb to 10 clinics and more than a 1000 doctors.
