SHANGHAI, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's hospitals are piloting "companion-free" care services to ease the heavy burden of daily care-giving on the inpatients' families.

The new mode of operation requires hosting hospitals to directly employ trained nursing assistants to provide 24-hour non-medical care for inpatients with particular needs.

Such services used to rely solely on family members of the inpatients or private caregivers they hire.
