Guided by the principle of sustainable development, the hospital is committed to building a healthy, safe, and inclusive healthcare environment in collaboration with all sectors, steadily progressing toward the vision of becoming “the ideal health care center for the public and the ideal teaching, research, and working environment for medical professionals.”
