Promote Stroke Projects with Key SOE
Cerebral vascular accident, also known as stroke, ranks top in the death causes and adult disability in China. Stroke prevention and treatment has already been a major national health project which draws a lot of concern. The 2017 Smile Stroke Conference combines government and key state-owned enterprise to jointly promote smile projects all over the country.
Mr. Wang Longde addressed the conference. He said, Stroke Committee had started stroke center establishment projects ever since 2013 and up to now, 122 Class III hospitals from over 20 provinces have been selected to be advanced stroke centers (including establishment units), which laid a solid foundation for regional stroke center network establishment. Stroke prevention and treatment, he also stated, as a long-term systemized livelihood project, has received attention and support from all walks of life. Universal Medical, as a key SOE, has taken the lead and worked hard in stroke projects for years and cooperated with Sino-U.S. Stroke Group to initiate Smile Project in 2011 to promote stroke prevention and treatment in primary hospitals.
