Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was initially established in 1923 as Yongjia Pu’an TCM Clinic and Pharmacy by industrialists including Cai Guanfu, Chen Ziming, and Tao Lvchen through fund-raising. It was initially a medical charity aimed to “help the poor with medical service and medicine”. After more than 90 years of development, the Hospital is now a national Grade A TCM hospital with honorary titles such as the Zhejiang provincial “Safe Hospital”, and “Green Hospital”. The hospital boasts high academic level and enjoys good social reputation while undertaking tasks relating to Southern Zhejiang’s TCM teaching, research and training. With more than 1600 employees, the Hospital, consisting of four branches (Liuhongqiao, Dashimen, Jinshan and Shuixin), occupies a total area of 112.77 mu (approximately 75,180 square meters) with a construction area of 133,900 square meters. The hospital is approved to have 880 beds and offers more than 1,000 beds in service. In 2004, the Hospital became a teaching hospital of the then Zhejiang Chinese Medical College, Wenzhou Medical University and Jiangxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It became an affiliated hospital to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in 2008 and to Fujiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2015. In 2007, the Hospital was designated as a construction unit of the “Zhejiang Prestigious TCM Hospital Building Project” with its TCM gynecology, nephropathy, and liver disease departments selected as the candidate for building prestigious TCM specialties.
