The new service has brought a boom to the hospital. As of 7 pm on Sunday, the outpatient hall had been packed with 300 people or so, with hundreds of people waiting outside.
The booking service starts at 8 pm everyday, which enables people go to the hospital after work.
The rush hour for the service will be around 8 and 9 pm everyday, said Wang Xiaobo, director of the outpatient department of PUMCH.
