Abstract:Currently, the gap in health care level between developed and developing countries over the world is increasingly enlarged. In China, there exists a huge imbalance for medical resources between city and countryside. Here, such serious situation was carefully interpreted. We proposed that one of the key technical strategies towards resolving such difficulty lies in integrating the latest micro/nano biomedical technologies and thus establishing Micro Total Hospital System (μ-THS) in the sense of being fully equipped, highly advanced however easily affordable. This new hospital system, which differs from traditional one, would significantly stimulate efforts towards entire miniaturization and economization in diagnostic, therapeutic and medicine equipments, and thus significantly lower the medical cost and catalyze new medical service system. The basic features of the μ-THS were comprehensively addressed and typical technical approaches to realize the corresponding medical equipping modal...更多ity were suggested. Some key issues waiting for solving were summarized. The proposed low cost μ-THS may lead to new generation hospital capable of quickly shortening gaps in medical care quality among various global regions. Meanwhile, exploration into the micro total hospital equipping system would push forward a series of new breakthroughs in both fundamental as well as practical researches.
