The experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) Thursday
divided into three groups to visit three designated hospitals for
the treatment of foreign SARS patients.
The hospitals were Shanghai Municipal Pneumonic Hospital, Shanghai
Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Xuhui
District CDC.
After being briefed by the Municipal Pneumonic Hospital staff, the
WHO experts tested nurses on how to confirm a high fever, how to
accurately investigate the disease, how to distribute patients and
how to take quarantine measures.
The WHO experts also discussed cases with the hospital experts,
focusing on timely and effective treatment of the disease according
to the clinical symptoms and diagnostic standards.
The six WHO experts arrived in Shanghai on Monday to evaluate the
status of SARS prevention and treatment and will finish on
Friday.
