China's Xiamen to build 5G-powered telemedicine platform for eye diseases(2)

Medical professionals believe that the implementation of 5G-based telemedicine will effectively optimize regional medical resource allocation, and improve the timeliness of monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of eye diseases.

Since China kicked off the commercialization of 5G services in 2019, 5G technology has been embedded in intelligently connected hospitals, factories, ports, driverless cars, and various aspects of people's lives.

Xiamen had built around 11,000 5G base stations by May, and it strives to bring the total number to 20,000 by the end of this year, statistics from the municipal bureau of industry and information technology showed.
