Abstract:
:Facing the challenge from terrorism, separatism, and extremism, China spared no effort to be prepared for every possible threat in order to host a safe Olympic Games. According to its statutory role, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is in charge of medical preparedness and response for radiological and nuclear emergencies. Chinese Center for Medical Response to Radiation Emergency (CCMRRE), led by Office of Health Emergency, MOH, is responsible for organizing and conducting national medical assistance and response to radiation accidents and providing technical instruction and support for seven Olympic cities. To fulfill its responsibilities, CCMRRE has carried out a series of preparedness trainings and exercises. The aim of this report is to introduce the work of strengthening radiation emergency preparedness and share the experience obtained while preparing and organizing the 2008 Olympic Games in China.
