GP system planned after student death uproar

The nation's health authorities will establish a family doctor system to guarantee early response and accurate information for patients. Shan Juan reports.

The National Health and Family Planning Commission, China's top health authority, is formulating plans to establish a family doctor system to ensure a well-organized and orderly healthcare environment.

The move comes after the news that a 21-year-old computer science student with cancer died after undergoing an experimental cancer therapy that was heavily promoted by Baidu, China's leading internet search engine.
