Experts who may share an interest with either of the parties in a dispute should withdraw, according to the rule.
In recent years, a number of medical disputes that have escalated into attacks on medical staff members have been reported across the country.
The latest happened in Yixian, of Hebei province, on Tuesday, when a surgeon's throat was cut by a patient who was reportedly unsatisfied with his medical treatment.
The day before, a 45-year-old doctor in an ear, nose and throat department at a hospital in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang province, was beaten to death by a young patient. The 19-year-old broke into the doctor's office and hit him on the head with a steel pipe.
According to the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the country has seen 16 violent attacks on medical staff, with many resulting in death and serious injury.
The increased violence has drawn widespread attention from the public, who have called for more effective solutions.
