Since its establishment, the department has insisted on focusing on medical care and serving patients. It has carried out multi-disciplinary and multi-hospital cooperation, forming a distinctive specialty integrating medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research. It keeps up with the development frontiers of hyperbaric oxygen medicine at home and abroad, and is committed to using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to promote patient recovery and health management. The department currently has a modern multi-person air cabin, which is controlled by electronic computer and equipped with advanced monitoring system, air conditioning system and fire extinguishing system to ensure the comfort and safety of patient treatment. The department is also equipped with the only animal testing chamber (high and low pressure multi-purpose chamber) in Inner Mongolia to ensure the smooth progress of clinical and scientific research work.
