Industry update
Nanjing updates its directory of palliative care pilot institutions
The September directory lists institutions by district with addresses and telephone numbers, giving families a current starting point for direct enquiries.
Nanjing Municipal Health Commission released its September update of institutions participating in the palliative care pilot on September 7. The list includes hospitals, community health centres and nursing facilities, organised by district. It supplies contact details rather than a booking or live bed-availability service.
Families considering local support can use the directory to ask about referral requirements, admission criteria, language assistance and charges. A listing does not establish eligibility for an overseas visitor or suitability for a particular patient. Discuss travel feasibility and continuity of care with the treating team before making arrangements. PatientChina does not make clinical or admission decisions.
