I must point out that such as I describe above is the exception i/o the rule in China. Medical services - or rather the lack of such - is big blot on China's reputation and one that sorely needs reform and a thorough cleaning out.
But it is a gargantuan effort for China is so large and has so many people. Even 6-1/2 million doctors - which is how many there is there - is definitely NOT enough to provide anything but very basic coverage for each of her citizen; not when the AVERAGE occupancy rate for the hospitals here runs at 130% of capacity. Figure THAT ONE out!!
And for anybody travelling to China I strongly recommend to take out a GOOD health insurance with definite Medical assistance service availability by one of the known International Medical assistance companies like SOS, AED etc; don't just take the word of the insurance salesman that such is provided for - for in too many instances , it just is NOT the truth and you end up with health insurance which is totally useless in China.
