Pharmacy services at the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games

摘要

The polyclinic in the Beijing Olympic Village was the impressive focal point of the Olympic medical services. Along with a fully stocked pharmacy, there was a comprehensive collection of specialist departments including radiology (with two MRI machines), X-ray, emergency medicine, surgery and internal medicine, sports medicine, and ear, nose and throat. In addition, there was a physiotherapy department with over 100 treatment beds and an optometry department, which dispensed hundreds of pairs of glasses during the games. And, for the first time in an Olympic polyclinic, a Chinese acupuncture clinic was available to athletes.
