SHENZHEN, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CSOSTM, China's first emergency assistance specialist with a global servicing capability and hospital network, announced today that it has been in full compliance with international emergency medical service (EMS) protocols as an initiative to promote best emergency care practices and medical excellence for government agencies, insurance companies, institutional clients and to the general public in China.
"Patient care and safety are a top priority of an air or ground inter-facility medical transport service, and this compliance will ensure that our overseas and Chinese patients receive the best medical care in a medical emergency," said Alina ZHUANG, spokeswoman and Chief Operating Officer of CSOSTM.
She further explained that CSOSTM now adopts the latest and most up-to-date medical resuscitation equipment available and CSOSTM is in compliance with the American Heart Association and American Emergency Physician guidelines on medical resuscitation, in addition to the advanced life support certificates held by CSOS' medical teammates.
This has also made CSOSTM the first Chinese full-service medical assistance company to comply with international EMS protocols voluntarily. CSOSTM was initially established in 1998 and has been serving global insurance firms and Hong Kong government agencies for more than a decade.
"This compliance may not be achievable without the hard work of our diligent teammates, our international medical team in particular. This compliance will help further enhance CSOS' presence in the Great China region, as a leader in the high-growing medical assistance industry," she added.
CSOSTM will be following CAMTS (Commission of Air Medical Transport Safety) and EURAMI (Europe Air Medical Institute) guidelines on safe medical evacuation of critically ill patients, and evaluating compliance with accreditation standards to demonstrate the ability to deliver high quality services.
China has witnessed a rapid increase of inbound, outbound and intra-region tourists driven by its continuous economic success in recent years and its emergency assistance industry have been taking off, however, the industry standards are still lagging behind in comparison with many other developed countries.
