Pingshan District Central Hospital of Shenzhen

As a key public welfare project in the core area of Shenzhen's “Eastward Expansion Strategy,” Shenzhen Pingshan District Central Hospital has been fully operational since 2019. Guided by its mission to “safeguard life and health while building a premier medical center in the Greater Bay Area,” the hospital leverages the policy advantages and innovative resources of Shenzhen's Pilot Demonstration Zone. It has progressively evolved into a modern tertiary general hospital integrating medical care, teaching, research, prevention, and health preservation. The hospital has become a vital medical service hub for Pingshan District and the eastern region of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

I. Hospital Overview

Spanning approximately 150 acres, the hospital's Phase I construction covers 180,000 square meters with 1,500 designated beds. Following Phase II expansion, bed capacity will increase to 2,500. Guided by a “Smart Hospital” vision, the facility integrates 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data technologies to establish a fully intelligent service system, committed to delivering efficient, convenient, and compassionate patient care. As an affiliated hospital of Shenzhen University and a teaching hospital of Southern Medical University, it shoulders critical responsibilities in treating complex and critical illnesses, managing public health emergencies, and cultivating medical talent within the region.

II. Technical Advantages

The hospital focuses on “Precision Medicine” and “Minimally Invasive Techniques,” developing multiple core technological strengths:

• Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Approach: For complex cases like tumors and cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases, experts from surgery, internal medicine, imaging, pathology, and other fields collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans, enhancing therapeutic outcomes.

• Minimally Invasive and Interventional Therapies: Departments including General Surgery, Orthopedics, and Obstetrics & Gynecology extensively perform laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, hysteroscopic, and vascular interventional procedures. These techniques minimize trauma and accelerate recovery, with annual surgeries exceeding 8,000 cases.

• Critical Care: The Emergency Medicine Department is equipped with advanced life support devices, including ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and aortic balloon counterpulsation. It operates a “Golden Hour” emergency system, achieving regionally leading success rates in severe trauma rescue.

III. Hospital Specialty Strengths

Guided by the development principle of “Strong Specialties, Comprehensive Care,” the hospital focuses on building five key specialty clusters:

1. Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center: Integrates radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Collaborates with the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University to establish a remote consultation platform, offering precision radiotherapy (e.g., TOMOknife). Annual cancer patient visits exceed 20,000.

2. Cardiovascular Center: Equipped with DSA (digital subtraction angiography) and cardiac ultrasound, routinely performs coronary stenting and radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias. Acute myocardial infarction treatment time (D-to-B) was reduced to under 60 minutes.

3. Critical Care Medicine Department: Serving as the regional emergency center covering Pingshan and a 50-kilometer radius, it has successfully treated numerous critically ill patients with severe multiple trauma, septic shock, and other critical conditions.

4. Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Pediatrics: The obstetrics department operates a high-risk pregnancy clinic, while the neonatal unit is equipped with incubators and phototherapy devices to ensure maternal and infant safety, handling over 5,000 deliveries annually.

5. Rehabilitation Medicine: Integrating modern rehabilitation techniques with traditional Chinese therapies, we provide personalized recovery plans for stroke and orthopedic surgery patients, achieving a 92% effective rehabilitation rate.

IV. Hospital Departments and Medical Equipment

The hospital features a comprehensive array of departments, encompassing over 40 clinical and medical technology units including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Oncology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Orthopedics, Neurology, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Dentistry, Dermatology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Anesthesiology, Medical Laboratory Science, and Medical Imaging.
