Make every effort to build a platform for accurate treatment of acute and critical diseases, and escort patients with acute and critical diseases.

Acute and critical illness is a major disease that affects people’s lives and health. It has the characteristics of suddenness, unpredictability, complexity and rapid change of illness, and it has extremely high requirements for its handling ability.

In the context of the new era of emergency medicine, in order to better apply precision medicine technology to the treatment of critical illness, open up the pain points, difficulties and blocking points in the treatment of critical illness, and effectively improve the level of emergency treatment and overall service level in our province, the Emergency Branch of Guangdong Precision Medicine Application Society is actively preparing for construction.
