Major towns in Tibet have hospitals with basic facilities. Western pharmaceutical treatment, herbal remedies are also accessible. The medical and sanitary conditions of most hospitals are not as satisfactory as those in developed areas. However, in an emergency, they can still give basic medical treatments and be of great value in saving a life when necessary. Better hospital service and facilities can only be accessed in Chengdu and other major cities.
