Modeled on Beijing’s Xiaotangshan Hospital, which treated severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) cases in 2003, the makeshift hospital will not provide outpatient services, only treating confirmed infected patients.
To enhance protection of its medical staff and prevent cross-infection, the hospital has invited Zhang Yanling, former president of Xiaotangshan, to offer training for its medical staff.
