I. Hospital Profile

Shekou People's Hospital (Shenzhen Shekou Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University) serves as a core public general hospital within Nanshan District's healthcare system. Established in 1955 as Shekou United Clinic, it has evolved over nearly seven decades into a tertiary general hospital (accredited in 2022) integrating medical treatment, teaching, research, prevention, healthcare, and rehabilitation. The hospital stands as a vital regional medical center in western Shenzhen. Located adjacent to Shekou Port and Shenzhen Bay Port, the hospital serves the Shekou, Zhonghai, and Yuehai subdistricts of Nanshan District, as well as surrounding cities in the Greater Bay Area such as Dongguan and Zhuhai. It handles over 1.5 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, with more than 50,000 inpatients discharged each year. Designated as a teaching hospital for Guangdong's higher medical institutions, a National Chest Pain Center (Standard Edition) certified facility, and a member of the Shenzhen Stroke Center Alliance, it has been honored as a “National Model Hospital for Public Trust” and a " Guangdong Provincial Civilized Unit."

II. Hospital Technical Advantages

Leveraging dual drivers of “Shenzhen-Hong Kong collaboration” and “integrated medical education and research,” the hospital has developed three core technical strengths:
