As China's Tiangong space station recently completed its in-orbit assembly, the country's space medicine experts have started planning to set up a space medical unit, a so-called "space hospital" to serve astronauts, according to Du Jichen, president of the Aerospace Center Hospital in Beijing. "We are carrying out extensive research, experiments and tests on the ground to advance the preliminary work on a space hospital that can be deployed inside a manned spacecraft like our space station. The value of this project is that it will enable our space explorers to travel deeper and stay healthy during their journey," he said on 08 November at the Zhuhai Airshow.
