If a cause of the illness cannot be found at Tuya, and no significant treatment effects are seen, the patient will most likely be referred to a major hospital in Beijing or Shanghai for diagnosis and treatment.
Relatively speaking, hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai possess more advanced medical equipment.
This advantage is not limited to some piece of examination equipment or surgical tools, but is comprehensive.
In addition to advanced equipment, they have stronger expert teams. They can even achieve multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment with close cooperation. Many difficult-to-diagnose or difficult-to-treat diseases are cured at major hospitals in Beijing because they have more top experts.
In specialized medical fields, experts in Beijing are more finely divided.
Even within a single Digestive Department, there might be close to twenty different expert sub-fields.
