I. Hospital Overview
Established in 1985 as Bao'an County Longhua People's Hospital, Longhua District People's Hospital adopted its current name in 2011 following the establishment of Longhua New District. The hospital occupies a total area of approximately 85,000 square meters, with 1,500 authorized beds and over 1,800 operational beds. It handles over 3 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, serving a population exceeding 3 million across Longhua District and surrounding areas, including Dongguan and Huizhou. As a teaching hospital for universities, including Jinan University and Shantou University, Longhua District People's Hospital bears dual responsibilities for medical talent cultivation and scientific innovation. It serves as a teaching hospital for higher medical institutions in Guangdong Province and a National Resident Standardized Training Collaborative Base.
II. Hospital Technical Advantages: Precision Medicine and Smart Empowerment in Parallel
Longhua District People's Hospital pursues a technical development strategy centered on “minimally invasive, intelligent, and precision-oriented” approaches, establishing multiple regionally leading core technologies:
• Minimally Invasive Techniques: Departments including General Surgery, Orthopedics, and Obstetrics & Gynecology extensively utilize laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, and hysteroscopic procedures. Techniques such as single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery (NOSES) rank among the most advanced in the province.
• Critical Care: Leveraging the Emergency Medicine Department, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration, the hospital has established a “Golden Hour” emergency response system. Its success rates in treating severe trauma, sepsis, and acute myocardial infarction rank among the highest in Shenzhen.
• Smart Healthcare: As a Shenzhen pilot for “Internet+Healthcare,” the hospital has launched AI-assisted diagnosis systems, smart pharmacies, and remote consultation platforms. This enables online access to test reports and cross-hospital expert guidance, reducing average patient wait times to under 30 minutes.
III. Leading Specialties: Strengthening Foundations to Build a Regional Medical Hub
Guided by the principle of “hospital-wide focus, departmental specialization, and individual expertise,” the hospital has cultivated several nationally and provincially influential specialties:

• Cardiovascular Medicine (Municipal Key Specialty): Performs interventional therapies including coronary angiography, stent implantation, and radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias. Acute myocardial infarction treatment maintains D-to-B time (door-to-balloon time) consistently under 60 minutes, meeting national Chest Pain Center standards.
• Obstetrics and Gynecology: Provides comprehensive care, including high-risk pregnancy management, prenatal diagnosis, and postpartum rehabilitation. Achieves a 99.5% success rate in high-risk maternal emergencies. Neonatal unit equipped with advanced incubators and ventilators, ranking among the city's highest in preterm infant survival rates.
• Emergency Medicine: As a member unit of Shenzhen's Emergency Quality Control Center, the department maintains four dedicated green channels for trauma, chest pain, stroke, and maternal emergencies, treating over 50,000 critically ill patients annually.

The hospital features a comprehensive array of over 40 clinical and medical technology departments, including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Emergency Medicine, Oncology, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine, addressing the health needs of all populations across the entire lifespan.
In terms of medical equipment, the hospital has invested over 1 billion yuan to introduce cutting-edge international technology, including the Da Vinci Surgical System (Xi), GE 3.0T MRI, Siemens Dual-Source CT, Philips DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography), and Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. This state-of-the-art infrastructure ensures precision in diagnosis and treatment.

This milestone signifies that the hospital's comprehensive service capabilities have reached a nationally recognized high standard.
