China's advanced chest pain centre standards to go global through Hong Kong
Hong Kong will help mainland China internationalise its advanced standards for chest pain treatment centres, authorities have revealed, with Beijing pledging to support the city in providing healthcare services to the world amid rising unilateralism. The centres, including the city's first at Queen Mary Hospital which received national accreditation this month, can speed up treatment for patients suffering from acute heart-related diseases. 'In addition to meeting the nationally certified standards, we also have another goal in mind, which is to contribute or help the country create an international version of its chest pain centre standards. We have collaborated and created a data centre for the international version, ' Dr Theresa Li, chief executive of Queen Mary Hospital, said at the annual Hospital Authority Convention on Monday. 'In the next step, we hope to further advance the international version of the accreditation certification, allowing such a great framework to be promoted beyond our country. It will enable everyone to see that our nation's medical standards have reached a very high level.' Hong Kong's first chest pain centre, which was established at Queen Mary Hospital, received national accreditation in May.
