The number of medical personnel has been increasing and their quality has been continuously improved. By the end of 2022, there will be 4.4 million licensed physicians and licensed assistant physicians and 5.2 million registered nurses in my country. At the same time, the vast number of grassroots doctors take advantage of the system advantages of the medical consortium to continuously improve the level of diagnosis and treatment by means of “teaching help” from experts and going to higher-level hospitals for further study.

Medical technology capabilities and medical quality levels continue to improve. A number of medical technologies that have reached or led the international advanced level have been widely used clinically, filling a number of technological gaps in the region.
