China's top medical institution, the 301 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, is continuously expanding its telemedicine system.
According to the telemedicine department at the 301 Hospital in Beijing, the facility is currently connecting medical institutions across the country to broaden the scope of telemedicine, which includes consultations, education, emergency response, and military medical support. The hospital has established a telemedicine network with over 1,300 military and civilian medical institutions. More than 800 experts across 57 clinical departments are participating in telemedicine, with annual remote consultations exceeding 12,000. Among these, over 54.5% are senior specialists.
The scope of telemedicine extends beyond simple video consultations. It includes remote imaging interpretation, electrocardiogram and pathology consultations, multidisciplinary collaboration for complex and severe patients, remote testing, medical staff training, and academic exchanges. Notably, remote relief for major domestic and international emergencies, as well as military medical and hygiene support, are also key responsibilities.
The hospital plans to integrate advanced technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data with telemedicine to reduce time and spatial constraints and address regional disparities in medical resources. The 301 Hospital is actively operating telemedicine-related systems while continuously expanding its related equipment and medical infrastructure.
