Training center seeks to improve ER treatment

Since he arrived in China last July, French doctor Jerome Mourad has been struck by the differences in the emergency rooms of the two countries.

Mourad, 29, had worked as an emergency doctor at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Avicenne, located in a suburb in northeast Paris.

"There are always many people in the emergency rooms here in China - always," he said. "While in France, this seldom happens. Doctors will give necessary treatment to patients at the primary section, then directly dispatch the patients to different specialty areas."
