More than 1,400 military doctors worked in the Huoshenshan Hospital, which was built in record time, the rest were in the Wuhan Taikang Tongji Hospital and the Hubei Province Huangshi Maternal and Child Health Hospital. In total, they equipped these hospitals with almost 3,000 beds, military doctors received and provided medical assistance to almost 7,200 patients.
As of Thursday, all military doctors have left the city of Wuhan. No information about any cases of the coronvirus among them has been reported.
