Kuichong People's Hospital

Kuichong People's Hospital is located at No. 138, Jinkui Middle Road, Kuichong Subdistrict, Dapeng New District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. Nestled against mountains and facing the sea, it is adjacent to the Dapeng Peninsula Ecological Tourism Area and serves as a vital regional comprehensive medical institution in eastern Shenzhen. Since its establishment in 1958, the hospital has consistently upheld the mission of “Caring for Health with Compassion, Serving the People with Expertise.” After over six decades of development, it has evolved into a modern Grade II Class A public general hospital integrating medical treatment, prevention, healthcare, rehabilitation, and teaching. Serving as the core medical hub of Dapeng New District, its unique proximity to Hong Kong has enabled it to gradually develop into a benchmark for primary healthcare with international service capabilities, serving residents of both Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

I. Hospital Overview and Classification

Kuichong People's Hospital is a public, non-profit medical institution under the administration of the Shenzhen Dapeng New District Health Bureau. Designated as a Grade II Class A General Hospital in 2015, it serves as a teaching hospital for medical colleges in Guangdong Province and is a member unit of the Shenzhen Emergency Medicine Quality Control Center.

It is progressively expanding services to cross-border residents between Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

II. Technical Strengths and Core Competencies

Guided by the principles of “Minimally Invasive, Precision, and Rapid Response,” the hospital has developed three core competencies:

• Critical Care: Leveraging the Emergency Medicine Department (a municipal-level key specialty), the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and multidisciplinary collaboration, the hospital has established a “Golden Hour” emergency response system. It leads among Shenzhen's primary-level hospitals in trauma care, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies, and toxicology rescue.

• Chronic Disease Management: For prevalent regional conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and osteoarthritis, the hospital implements a comprehensive “prevention-treatment-rehabilitation” management model. Through partnerships with community health service centers, it offers family doctor contracts, achieving over 85% standardized patient management rates.

• Minimally Invasive Surgery Adoption: Routine procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, arthroscopic meniscus repair, and hysteroscopic myomectomy, are performed in general surgery, orthopedics, and obstetrics/gynecology departments. These techniques offer reduced trauma and faster recovery, with minimally invasive surgeries accounting for over 40% of annual procedures.

III. Specialized Departments and Distinctive Services

The hospital maintains comprehensive departmental coverage, with five departments designated as district-level key specialties. This structure fosters a framework where “internal medicine builds a strong foundation, surgery creates distinctive features, and specialty departments establish brands”:

It collaborates with Shenzhen University General Hospital to operate the “Orthopedic Joint Diagnosis and Treatment Center,” achieving 100% coverage for complex case consultations.

Rehabilitation effectiveness exceeds 90%, and the department is designated as the work injury rehabilitation center for Dapeng New District.

• Imaging: 1.5T MRI, 64-slice spiral CT, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), 4D color Doppler ultrasound;

• Laboratory: Fully automated biochemical analyzers, chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers, genetic testing platforms;

• Therapeutic: High-definition laparoscopic system, hysteroscopic system, holmium laser lithotripter, blood purification equipment;

Certain equipment meets tertiary hospital configuration standards, ensuring precise diagnosis and efficient treatment.

V. International Patient Services and Global Healthcare Connectivity

With the deepening integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Kuichong People's Hospital actively expands its international services:
