New center to help unlock diagnostic mysteries   2016-03-04

 

 

DOCTORS solving medical mysteries will find their jobs a bit easier with the establishment of the country's first center dedicated to undiagnosed diseases.

Children's Hospital of Fudan University's Undiagnosed Diseases Program center is part of a network headed by the National Institutes of Health in the US that provides a forum for doctors to discuss complicated cases and exchange information. Top specialists from all departments of the hospital participate in the program's regular  group discussions as well as in long-distance exchanges with their counterparts at top children's hospitals in the US.

"Unlike ordinary complex disease treatment centers, the program only receives patients who have failed to get a diagnosis at the country's leading hospitals," said hospital president Dr Huang Guoying, who added that sometimes doctors must experiment with different types of treatment before arriving at the right diagnosis.
