As a district hospital, we provide internal medicine, surgery, OB-GYN, pediatrics, orthopedics, and subspecialties, with outpatient, inpatient, and surgical services for community healthcare needs.
Since about three decades ago, large communities have been developed, and population keeps growing in the Ankeng area of Xindian. Howeber, there has been an absence of medical resources due to the poor transportation system and other geographical factors. In March 2014, the Ankang Branch of Cardinal Tien Hospital was established.The most convenient and high-quality complete medical services are finally provided to nearby residents. All matters, which includes operating process standings, start from scratch. Throughout teaching, quality management and construction, the surgical nursing team adheres to the SMART concept Care for the sick .S(Safety), M(Management),A (Assessment) , R (Receptive) , T (Team)is the team, nursing with professional knowledge, warmth and heartful care. We provide a developed nursing process, so that surgical patients can receive safe medical care. Our responsibility is earing patients' trust and guarding their health. The team nowdays provides outpatient and inpatient with emergency surgery about 396 people per month.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ankang Hospital took over the responsibility of COVID-19 inpatient ward. We also provides surgical treatment for COVID-19 patients. We expect in the furture, we will apply Evidence-Based Careand Innovative Delivery so that we can provide patients with better quality nursing care throughout the entire surgical period.
