Top killer diseases

TUMORS and circulatory and respiratory diseases are the top three killers in Shanghai, while congenital deformities and tumors are the leading causes of death among newborns and infants. It was announced at the annual health conference yesterday.

The city said it will look at ways to improve the general physician service at neighborhood health centers for chronic diseases, push public health reform, and work on the disease prevention network this year.

The obstetric and pediatric service will also be improved following the two-child policy, the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission said.

A classified health system will be developed to ensure patients receive convenient and high-quality service near their residence, officials said.
