Rehabilitation for coronavirus patients prepared in Hubei
Local health authorities in Hubei province, center of the novel coronavirus outbreak, rolled out multiple measures for the rehabilitation of pneumonia patients discharged from the hospital, according to Tu Yuanchao, deputy head of the provincial health commission.
Clinics for patient rehabilitation will be established in designated hospitals and community medical institutions, he said on Friday at a media briefing in Wuhan, capital of the province.
Tu also noted the integrated treatment of western and traditional Chinese medicine, which has proven effective in boosting recovery rates, will be further applied in rehabilitation sessions.
"We have organized experts on drawing up the guideline of integrated treatment on the coronavirus-cased pneumonia, including a professional version for medical workers and a public version for self-rehabilitation," he said.
The local health authorities will also step up mental health care efforts, he said, adding psychological crisis intervention will be implemented both for patients and family members.
The province will also promote online medical consultation services in an effort to aid the rehabilitation of patients, he said.
