China will increase the number of maternity beds by 89,000 over the next three years to help hospitals cope with the extra demand resulting from the second-child policy, it was announced today.
中国将在接下来的三年中新增89000张产科床位，以满足二孩政策实施所带来的床位需求，该决定于今天宣布实施。
Li Bin, the minister of the Health and Family Planning Commission, said a “green passage” has also been set up to ensure efficient patient referrals and quality neonatal treatment.
国家卫生和计划生育委员会主任李斌指出，一条确保产妇高效转移及新生儿高质生育的绿色通道也随政策颁布设立。
