(Yicai Global) March 5 -- Children's Hospital of Shanghai started its internet hospital system on Feb. 29. A total of 12 experienced doctors have offered remote medical treatment services to 45 child patients outside the city and issued 99 prescriptions since the online medical care service began operating. The platform has also provided a total of 387 medical consultations to date.
