Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital: A Benchmark of Zhejiang Healthcare, a “Full-Cycle Harbor” Safeguarding Life and Health

I. Hospital Overview

Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital is a Grade A tertiary general hospital directly affiliated with the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission. Founded in 1984, it now serves as Zhejiang's core base for medical treatment, teaching, research, prevention, healthcare, and rehabilitation. It also functions as an affiliated hospital for Zhejiang University School of Medicine and other institutions, as well as a standardized residency training base. Guided by the development strategy of “comprehensive excellence and specialized strength,” the hospital operates across three campuses—Chaohui, Qiantang, and Binjiang (covering over 300 acres)—with over 3,000 open beds. It handles more than 6 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, ranking among Zhejiang's top three hospitals and China's top 100 in comprehensive service capacity for consecutive years (82nd in the 2023 Fudan University China Hospital Rankings).

Guided by its motto “Compassionate Care, Masterful Skills; Utmost Precision, Utmost Sincerity,” the hospital focuses on three core missions: treating complex and critical illnesses, advancing cutting-edge technological innovation, and driving regional healthcare development. It serves as Zhejiang's center for diagnosing and treating complex diseases while empowering primary healthcare through its “Dual Sink, Dual Enhancement” initiative, supporting the implementation of the “Healthy Zhejiang” strategy.

II. Technological Advantages: Innovation-Driven Leadership in Regional Healthcare

Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital positions technological innovation as its core driver, establishing significant strengths in minimally invasive surgery, organ transplantation, critical care medicine, and precision oncology. Multiple technologies have filled provincial gaps and reached advanced domestic or even international standards:

• Minimally Invasive Surgery: As one of China's first Da Vinci Surgical Robot Training Centers, it has performed over 20,000 robotic surgeries (covering urology, general surgery, thoracic surgery, etc.), with success rates exceeding 98% for complex procedures like robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and gastrectomy.

• Organ Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine: The hospital holds accreditation for liver, kidney, heart, and lung transplants, ranking first in the province for annual transplant volume (e.g., over 200 liver transplants annually with a one-year survival rate exceeding 90%). It also conducts clinical research on stem cell therapy for spinal cord injuries and corneal regeneration.

• Critical Care Medicine and Emergency/Critical Care: The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is equipped with top-tier devices, including ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) and Intra-aortic Balloon Pump (IABP). The success rate for rescuing critically ill patients reaches 89%, with particular expertise in trauma, sepsis, and ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome).

VII. International Patient Testimonials: Authentic Experiences Highlighting Compassionate Care

• Emily (Breast Cancer Patient, USA): "After being diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer in the U.S., I heard Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital's Breast Surgery Department excels in breast-conserving surgery and targeted therapy, so I flew here specifically. The surgeon performed breast-conserving surgery using the Da Vinci robot, leaving only a 3-centimeter incision. My recovery was remarkably swift. Nurses guided my daily rehabilitation exercises in English and even arranged remote follow-ups with my oncologist back in the U.S.—truly thoughtful!"

• Mr. Suzuki (Japanese patient with coronary heart disease): “I arrived at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital with sudden angina. The Emergency Medicine Department completed my ECG and cardiac enzyme tests within 10 minutes. After diagnosis, I immediately underwent stent placement surgery. My attending physician explained my condition thoroughly in Japanese. The post-operative rehabilitation team taught me cardiac rehabilitation exercises in Chinese. Now I'm back to work!”

• UAE Patient Ahmed (Lumbar Disc Herniation): “My herniated disc was compressing nerves, making walking difficult. The orthopedic surgeon recommended minimally invasive endoscopic discectomy. The entire procedure took just 30 minutes, and I was able to get out of bed within 2 hours post-op. The hospital environment felt like a five-star hotel. The rehabilitation therapist taught me lumbar exercises in Arabic and provided a detailed recovery manual upon discharge—truly professional!”
