As a paediatrician for 39 years, he has treated more than 20000 critically ill patients with his team. Qian Suyun, honorary director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Children's Hospital, witnessed the development and progress of China's paediatrics in the new era. Qian Suyun introduced that paediatric diagnosis and treatment has strong professional characteristics. First, children's conditions change very quickly. Second, most children cannot describe their own conditions. "Doctors need to be patient and observe carefully". In recent years, the number of children's specialized hospitals has increased significantly. "In the past, my department of pediatric critical care was only available in large hospitals in big cities, but now many municipal hospitals have also been set up, making patient treatment more timely and convenient." Qian Suyun said. With the establishment of the National Children's Medical Center, the National Children's Regional Medical Center and the improvement of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, high-quality paediatric medical resources continue to expand and sink, gradually driving the balanced development of grass-roots hospitals. "I believe that as the whole society further creates a good atmosphere of respect for medicine and health, and various policies to promote the development of pediatrics are more perfect, the cause of children's health will certainly attract more young people with ideals and feelings to join." Qian Suyun said. (Outlook New Times)
