In the conference room, all the hospital's middle-level managers and clinical department directors attended the meeting.
Chen Xia stood alone in front of the projector, feeling exhausted.
It's tiring to find money when you have no money, and it's even more tiring to share the money when you have money. No wonder Jack Ma said that he was happiest when he received a salary of several thousand yuan.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Chen Xia turned on the projector.
What appeared before everyone was a floor plan of the new hospital.
Everyone has seen it before. This time, Chen Xia plans to talk about it in detail, focusing on how the hospital plans to support these departments and whether the 50 million US dollars is enough.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today I am showing you this new hospital floor plan, and it is because we have made some changes.
Originally, the newly built People's Hospital covered an area of 400 mu. Later, it was modified to build a new organ transplant center, so the area reached 500 mu, which is 10 times the area of our current old hospital.
In addition to the outpatient building, the hospital is also divided into a surgical building, an internal medicine building, and pediatrics, obstetrics, and ENT departments, each of which has its own floor. Each building is 18 stories high, and each floor can be divided into left and right wards, with a total of 100 beds.
Can you all calculate how many beds your department can get? You are now competing for resources and funding, and I am afraid that if you win, you will be too busy to handle it.
For example, the gastroenterology department currently has 200 beds across four wards. I plan to give you five floors with a total of 500 beds. Director Xuan, tell me, can you become the best gastroenterology department in China?"
Xuan Yongda laughed heartily. "500 beds? I'm afraid it won't be enough. It seems we'll have to recruit more people and expand our business in the next two years."
The meeting was suddenly noisy.
It turns out that this is not a question of whether or not everyone can obtain funding, but rather a question of how to develop and expand their own department after obtaining the funding.
This...some department heads are not confident.
Sure enough, Chen Xia named again:
"After careful research, our hospital decided to establish a pediatric center, which was initially divided into neonatology, pediatric internal medicine, pediatric surgery, pediatric critical care center, and PICU.
Director Liu, you just said that children are the future of our country and need more investment. Now the hospital is preparing to build your pediatrics department into a first-class comprehensive pediatric center in China that is in line with the world. Do you think this support is strong enough?
Okay, you don't have to rush to answer me now. I need you to go back and think carefully about it. Make a plan for the development of the pediatric department, specifically how many doctors and nurses to recruit. Write a planning report later, and I promise that the hospital will fully support you."
Now it was Liu Shumei's turn to feel embarrassed. She never dreamed that the hospital would attach so much importance to pediatrics.
There are 500 beds in the pediatrics department alone, and 1,000 beds are planned for the long term. This is not even a pediatrics department; it is clearly the scale of a children's hospital.
In fact, Chen Xia had this in mind. With the development of society in the future, every prefecture-level city will establish a children's hospital, and he is preparing to lay the foundation.
The other directors looked at Liu Shumei with envy, thinking that she had gotten what she wanted.
Chen Xia continued:
"Let me give you another example. See? There's another building next to the outpatient building. This is the future emergency center. Director Du, please see carefully. I'm giving you a separate building for the emergency department.
Not only will we provide you with a building, but we will also provide you with the best rescue equipment. However, your thinking mode cannot remain in the night clinic mode. You must know that you are under a lot of pressure.
Because with the construction of the Chengbei Industrial Park and the International Biomedicine High-tech Park, not only will a large number of domestic talents come to Yuezhou, but also a large number of foreign experts will be stationed in Yuezhou. Their emergency rescue is of utmost importance.
Therefore, the emergency department will also be divided into internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, ENT, and other related departments. We will also establish an observation unit with no fewer than 100 beds, and an IECU. At the same time, some first- and second-level emergency surgeries will be performed directly in the emergency center.
Director Du, to be honest, I am also half an emergency department person. Are you satisfied with my support?"
Du Guoji smiled so much that only a slit remained in his eyes. "I'm very satisfied. Don't worry, I will complete the task."
Chen Xia pointed to a building southwest of the hospital:
"Master, this small building far away from the main building is for your infectious disease department in the future. When the time comes, you will not only have to shoulder clinical responsibilities, but also the responsibilities of a national key infectious disease laboratory.
Last time I sent you so many latest guidelines on infectious diseases. You must master them immediately and set up relevant research teams.
Just like the last time the flu broke out in Europe and the United States, our hospital was the only one in China that sent a medical team to provide support. What does this mean? It means that our hospital's infectious disease department is at the forefront of the world in the field of infectious diseases.
Hey, don't think we're a prefecture-level city hospital and lose confidence. Let me tell you, our Yuezhou Hospital is definitely a first-class hospital in China.
Gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, infectious diseases, and now even organ transplants, which hospital in China can compare to us? Even on a global scale, we have a certain reputation.
Therefore, my vision for the future is that each of our departments will set up its own research center, focus on one key area of research, and strive to be at the forefront of the world.
Just like the Department of Endocrinology, you have all the relevant drug instructions from Pumpkin Vine Company, and you are also one of the first departments in the world to use these drugs. However, in terms of diabetes-related research, you are not yet world-class, which really makes me feel sorry for my painstaking efforts."
The first doctor at the scene was overwhelmed with emotion and had a strong urge to die for his friend.
Although Chen Xia initially said things like "the hospital has decided" and "we are prepared", as he spoke, it became "I am prepared to let you" or "don't let me down".
This shows that all these plans were made by Chen Xia alone. It can also be said that he is basically single-handedly promoting the overall development of Yuezhou Hospital.
Who would have thought that a hospital in a small city in the 18th tier would have such an astonishingly large investment?
The US$100 million received from European and American countries, plus the 100 million RMB allocated by the Ministry of Health, add up to a total of nearly 500 million RMB.
This was 500 million yuan in 1988, just to build a hospital. Such a huge amount of money can be said to be the largest one-time investment in hospital construction since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Chen Xia is trying to seize the running track. With the rapid economic development, hospitals across the country are flourishing, and he wants to make Yuezhou Hospital stand out before that.
Even if he is no longer the dean at that time, he will have done his best for the career he once pursued.
