MOH spokesman Deng Haihua made the remarks at a press conference on Monday, noting that the medical fields include epidemiology, lab detection, clinical medicine and infection control.
Medical malpractice was suspected of infecting more than 200 people in Zijin county with the Hepatitis C virus on Feb. 23.
