Every Chinese hospital should have an emergency plan to deal with doctor-patient disputes, experts said after the latest tragedy in which a doctor plunged to her death in Hebei province.

Wang Ping, a doctor in Guantao county, died after falling from the third floor of the hospital building she works in, the county government said on Saturday.

Shen Zhiyi, a 6-year-old boy with congenital heart disease, was confirmed dead around 7 pm on April 29. His family members came to find 34-year-old Wang, who was in charge of the patient's case, an hour later, the statement said.
