The aim is to optimize the functional layout of primary medical and health institutions in the district, improve the gross roots health service system and improve service capacity and quality.

The three community health centers were Zhonghua, Qixia and Yanzhong community health centers. The hospital is a large-scale comprehensive tertiary TCM hospital that integrates medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, prevention, rehabilitation, health preservation, health care and elderly care.

Based on the actual situation at each community health service center, the hospital will send teams of experts at all levels to the communities in a targeted manner, to carry out medical technical support such as consultations, teaching and guidance.

It is expected that through the cooperation, the comprehensive service capabilities of gross roots medical and health service institutions in Yunyan will be effectively enhanced, so that people in the area can enjoy high-quality medical services at their doorsteps.

As a result, the district's health bureau will take the opportunity to establish a scientific, rational, orderly and effective hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system – contributing to the establishment of a 15-minute medical service life circle.
