Hospital offers high-tech health services for capital's inmates

State-of-the-art medical services are available for Beijing inmates, with a designated hospital on the grounds of the Beijing Second Detention Center, that cares for inmates with serious health problems, the city's Public Security Bureau said.

The center's 207-bed hospital treats about 200 inmates every day, Zhao Chunguang, head of the bureau's administration department of detention centers, told journalists on a tour of the facilities.

It is one of the leading hospitals in China and is equipped with CT and X-ray machines, a biochemical analyzer for blood samples, ultrasound equipment and dialysis machines. Video conferencing services are available for doctors to conduct preliminary diagnosis for patients in other detention centers, Zhao said.
