The national performance monitoring of tertiary public hospitals is a major initiative by the state to deepen healthcare reform and promote the high-quality development of public hospitals. It serves as the “gold standard” and “baton” for assessing a hospital’s comprehensive strength and level of high-quality development. The renewed outstanding results achieved by the Affiliated Hospital and the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University are a full affirmation of their comprehensive strength, medical quality, and service standards. Going forward, the two hospitals will take this as a new starting point, make persistent efforts, and strive for ever greater excellence. They will continue to focus on improving medical quality and optimizing service capabilities, scale new heights in medicine, safeguard the lives and health of the people with higher-quality medical services, and contribute greater strength to promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals.
