Diagnoses via Internet need proper treatment

THE NATIONAL HEALTH and Family Planning Commission, the top health authority, stressed it has not given the green light to online medical diagnoses and treatment advice out of concerns for patients' safety. Comments:

The authority should pay more attention and draft rules to place Internet-based online medical diagnoses and treatments under effective supervision as soon as possible. It is wrong to strangle a new industry that people want just because the authority does not know how to administrate it.
