Expanding internship opportunities for students

With a total floor area of about 40,000 m2 and a scale of 350 beds, the hospital is invested synchronously according to the general medicine model. In addition to medical examination and treatment activities, the hospital is also oriented as a place to serve scientific research and training for lecturers and students of the school.
