Most of the patients it receives are patients with complex conditions and lack of curative effect who have been repeatedly transferred to major hospitals. The treatment methods are mostly traditional Chinese medicine and a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The participation rate of outpatient Chinese medicine is over 95%. The characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine are obvious and have good curative effect.
