East China likely to handle Ebola transfer cases

Region's medical institutions have best capacity, facilities for any Chinese patients from West Africa

Designated medical institutions in East China will probably take care of Chinese Ebola patients transferred from West Africa, given their relatively high capacity in public health and medical treatment, said a senior emergency response official.

Wang Wenjie, deputy director of the emergency response department of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, spoke to China Daily on the sidelines of an Ebola control news conference on Monday.
