Baotou's health system has recently welcomed good news. The Institute of Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission awarded the Neurosurgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College the title of "National Cerebral Hemorrhage Surgery Base".

The Clinical Pharmacy Branch of the Chinese Medical Association recently announced the newly updated list of clinical pharmacist trainee training centers, and Baotou Central Hospital was included.

As the economy develops and people's wages rise, people have higher requirements for a healthy life and hope to enjoy higher quality and more convenient medical and health services. The hope of the masses is encapsulated in Baotou's plan to establish a medical hub.

On May 26, the National Health Commission jointly issued the list of Linked City Medical Group Pilot City, and Baotou was also named on the list.

The linked city medical group is a form of organization that brings together multiple medical institutions to provide more comprehensive medical services. This group includes hospitals, clinics, family doctors, community service centers, pharmacies, laboratories, and imaging centers.

In recent years, Baotou has accelerated the construction of a linked city medical group, and has cooperated with Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an in terms of medical resources. It has also offered high-quality medical resources to counties and townships and expanded the number of medical experts and local medical talents in reserve.

Health is the most important indicator of a happy life for residents. Next, Baotou will continue to enhance the competitiveness of local medical services to better meet the growing needs of the public.
