According to the Shanghai-based newspaper, the state has usually invested limited money into hospital buildings, which are randomly designed. In addition, infrastructure construction of hospitals in the country has greatly lagged behind medical equipment renewal in recent years. Many hospitals have made alterations to suit the addition of up-to-date medical machines, the newspaper said. The symposium, which is scheduled to close today in Shanghai, attracted medical experts, architects and businesses from Germany, Japan, the United States and China. |
