Auntie Wang, a diabetic patient, lives near Ruijin Hospital. This is the second time she has come to see a doctor at the hospital during this round of the epidemic. The community can go out to Ruijin Hospital to see a doctor with a certificate one day in advance, and now the outpatient clinic of the hospital is fully open, I believe that more patients can see a doctor in time like me.”
Chen Yongjun, Director of Liver Surgery of Ruijin Hospital When I saw the outpatient clinic, I was surprised to find that patients from other places had already come to see the doctor. “We received three liver tumor patients from other provinces and cities in the morning, and they all need surgery as soon as possible. We have always been a little worried about the inconvenience of patients due to commuting. Come to the hospital, you can rest assured now!”
