Under the guidance of the IOC Medical Commission and in accordance with the requirements stipulated in the YOG Event Manual, the Games Services Department of Nanjing Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (NYOGOC), Nanjing Municipal Health Bureau and other relevant departments will set up the Medical Services Command Centre to be responsible for the preparations, organisation and implementation of Games-time medical services. During the Games-time, there will be over 1,100 medical professionals providing up-to-standard medical services for various accredited personnel and ticket-holding personnel. The medical services include: 1. The Polyclinic in the YOV provides comprehensive outpatient and emergency medical services for the accredited personnel in the Residential Zone. The Polyclinic provides medical services as well as 24-hour emergency and ambulance services from the soft opening to the closing of the YOV; 2. The Athlete (Spectator) Medical Stations at the competition venues provide on-site treatments and ambulance services; 3. The Athletes Medical Stations at the training venues provide on-site treatment and ambulance services; 4. The Medical Assistance Points (trained non-professionals to provide services) or Medical Stations at the CEP Venues provide on-site medical assistance or treatments and ambulance services; 5. The Medical Stations at the non-competition venues such as the IOC Hotel and the Main Media Centre provide on-site treatment and ambulance services; 6. NYOGOC designates hospitals (the official hospitals and emergency referral hospitals for Nanjing 2014) to provide outpatient and emergency services, expert consultation and inpatient medical services; patients treated at the Polyclinic of the YOV or the Medical Stations at the venues will be transferred to the designated hospitals for further treatments or given inpatient services if necessary; 7. Establish the infectious disease monitoring network to provide a full range of public health services; 8. Formulate contingency plans to deal with any possible public health emergency; 9. Formulate the smoking policy at the venues to ensure a “Smoke-free YOG”. After completing the registration with NYOGOC, NOC team doctors will be granted with a temporary right to practice medicine in China so that they can render medical services to, and only to, members of their own delegations or other delegations they have signed an agreement with. —2— 2 Relevant Policies 2.1 Registration of NOC Team Doctors According to the Chef de Mission Dossier for Nanjing 2014, all NOC team doctors are required to complete the practice registration in China so that they can provide Games-time medical services for members of their own NOCs or other NOCs they have signed agreement with. NOCs should fill in the Application Form for the Registration of Team Doctors no later than 26 March 2014, which shall be submitted with the NOC Medical Announcement ratified by NOCs to NYOGOC at the Chefs de Mission Seminar between 26 and 28 March 2014; if they are to provide medical services for members of other NOCs, they should present valid medical services agreement between them. NYOGOC will submit the NOCs’ Application Forms for the Registration of Team Doctors and the NOC Medical Announcement to the health administrations of local government for record, and reply to the NOCs not later than 30 June 2014. NOC team doctors shall not practice medicine, including making prescriptions in the YOV Polyclinic, during Nanjing 2014 without going through the registration procedure. See section 8.3 of this Guide for NOC Medical Announcement. After completing the registration, recognised team doctors are able to provide general medical services for members of their own delegation and those with medical agreement; write out prescriptions (using the YOG official prescription sample) and use the drugs in the Catalogue of Drugs listed in the Pharmacy Guide. Both the prescriptions and drugs will be provided by the YOV Polyclinic. Any medical services delivered outside the YOV Polyclinic, such as that delivered by the designated hospitals, shall be performed by the designated physicians. NYOGOC shall not take any responsibility for the medical services provided by NOC team doctors for members of their own delegation or those with medical agreement. 2.2 Insurance of NOCs’ Medical Professionals The liabilities arising from the medical practice during Nanjing 2014 by NOC team doctors and other medical staff members shall be assumed by the doctors and medical staff members or by NOCs. NYOGOC assumes no legal liabilities caused by the medical liability of NOCs’ registered medical staff. The insurance offered by NYOGOC does not cover the medical malpractice made by NOCs’ medical staff members. It is recommended that NOCs provide their own relevant medical liability insurance. 2.3 Importation/Exportation of NOCs’ Medicines and Medical Equipment NOC delegation members may enter China with medicines for their personal use or directly for their own NOCs or other NOCs they have signed agreement with. NOCs will have to fill in the Medicines Entry Application Form (See section 8.3 of this Guide). —3— Opium, morphine, heroin, marijuana and other addictive narcotics or psychotropic medicines are prohibited from carrying into China. The import of such medicines, if really necessary during Nanjing 2014, shall be subject to relevant provisions of China Customs. Once approved, a special report shall be submitted to NYOGOC. The medicines carried by athletes should have the prescription with them. To have medical equipment and relevant materials enter China, NOCs should fill in the Medical Equipment Entry Application Form (See section 8.5 of this Guide). All NOCs
