Twenty-nine medical experts from Sichuan province, Shanghai and Beijing - including eight specializing in ICU and four in psychology - have helped treat people injured in the Kunming terror attack on March 1.

Zhou Hongmei, director of the Medication Reform Office in Yunnan province, said on Monday that more than 1,900 medical staff from five hospitals have performed more than 100 surgeries.

Thirteen ambulances arrived at the Kunming train station within 10 minutes of the March 1 attack and rescued 111 injured people.
