Region's medical institutions have best capacity, facilities for any Chinese patients from West Africa Designated medical institutions in East China will probably take care of Chinese Ebola patients transferred from West Africa, given their relatively high capacity in public health and medical treatment, said a senior emergency response official.

 

Wang Wenjie, deputy director of the emergency response department of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, spoke to China Daily on the sidelines of an Ebola control news conference on Monday.

 

Currently, there are more than 8,500 Chinese citizens, mostly staff workers at Chinese businesses and health personnel, in Ebola-hit West African countries, and none to date have been found to have contracted the deadly disease, he said.

 

"We have a daily reporting rule to inform the commission of the latest health condition among the Chinese citizens in West Africa, and in the meantime they are informed of self-protection tips against the virus," he said.
