No matter how big or small the city is, there is usually a People's Hospital and a Chinese Hospital. It is widely believed that these two types of hospitals are of a higher standard, so they are usually the first choice for people to see a doctor. So what's the difference between a people's hospital and a Chinese hospital?
Size
Usually, people's hospitals are large general hospitals, and they are the hospitals with the highest level of medical care in their localities. In some cities, the People's Hospital is a large, three-armed hospital, which is considered to be one of the best in the area. Chinese hospitals are usually not as large as the People's Hospital, but some cities have large Chinese hospitals.
Departments
People's hospitals usually have departments of medicine and surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, gynecology, etc., which represent a full range of modern medicine, and the overall setup is much more comprehensive than that of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals. Although the People's Hospital also has a Chinese medicine department, it is still mainly a Western medicine department. Chinese hospitals also have internal surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, orthopedics and traumatology, but not as comprehensive as the People's Hospital. Some Chinese hospitals will also have a Western medicine department, but they will still focus on Chinese medicine.
Treatment
People's hospitals are dominated by Western medicine, so they are usually visited by those who need surgery, such as for acute conditions such as appendicitis and injuries caused by accidents such as car accidents. Other things such as taking X-rays, CT, nuclear magnetic **** vibration, etc. is also necessary to go to the hospital of Western medical treatment means. Chinese medicine hospitals are usually pills or soups for internal use and moxibustion, fire cupping, plasters, gua sha, etc. for external treatment.
In short, the People's Hospital and the Chinese Medicine Hospital have their own strengths. People's Hospital is mainly Western medicine, surgery, injections, etc. to treat the disease faster; Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is mainly Chinese medicine, good at regulating the balance of the human body, and accordingly slower.
