Security boosted at hospitals

Shenzhen adding police offices to prevent violent attacks on doctors

Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, plans to have police offices in all of its hospitals by the end of the year, in an expansion of efforts to protect doctors from increasingly violent attacks.

Public security departments have arrested at least eight suspects after attacks on medical workers since the city launched a special action on March 18 that will continue until the end of the year.
