History

Founded in 1919, it was originally known as the Ouhai hospital. Almost a century later, it has been transformed into a renowned health centre that is now charged with providing critical medical care service to the Southern Zhejiang-Fujian region with a population exceeding 20 million. As of 2010, it has logged an impressive 2.197 million outpatient and emergency visits, 51,000 hospital visits, and 27,000 surgeries.

In the 1990s, Taiwanese national He Chaoyu and his wife, Huang Meiying, donated money that went towards the construction of the Yuying Out-Patient Building and the Yuying Inpatient Building, thus augmenting the hospital's development.

Current status

The hospital employs 4,425 workers, consisting of 193 senior professors, 309 associate professors, 15 PhDs and 156 master's degree instructors. Its current bed capacity of 3,000 is complemented by 56 treatment centres and clinical departments, 10 medical departments, a medical institution, a surgical centre and a medical experiment centre.
