Xi'an Municipal Health Commission said that after the outbreak of this round of epidemics, Xi'an High-tech Hospital and Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital failed to implement "people first, life first" into medical treatment work, with a weak sense of responsibility, failed to perform the duty of saving lives and helping the injured, and failed to implement the core system of medical quality management such as the first diagnosis and the rescue of critically ill patients, resulting in delays in the rescue and diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, causing widespread concern in public opinion and a bad social impact.
Affected by this news, on the 13th, the stock price of international medicine, the listed parent company of the two hospitals, fell to a halt. Since the incident, international medical stock price has fallen from 11 yuan to 8.37 yuan in a few days, with a market value of 19 billion, compared with 34 billion in early 2021.
In order to do a good job in the medical security services of the general public in the jurisdiction, the Xi'an Municipal Health Commission has formulated the "Work Plan for Ensuring normal Medical Treatment for the Masses During the Closure of Two Hospitals in the High-tech Zone", and adopted a series of measures to ensure the medical needs of the masses, namely:
9 designated municipal tertiary hospitals, corresponding to support 9 community health service centers in the high-tech zone;
The Xi'an Emergency Center will arrange 10 emergency vehicle teams in the high-tech zone to be responsible for the emergency work of critically ill patients in the high-tech zone;
The high-tech zone should conduct a thorough investigation of special patients such as infants, pregnant women, hemodialysis, and tumors who have been fixed in Xi'an High-tech Hospital and Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital for a long time, do a good job of patient explanation, and reasonably divert them to other hospitals for treatment;
After the suspension of Xi'an High-tech Hospital and Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical College was designated as a tertiary first-class comprehensive guarantee hospital for the masses in the high-tech zone.
It is understood that after the outbreak of the epidemic in Xi'an, several cases of pregnant women and myocardial infarction patients were denied medical help information on social media.
On January 4, a maternal family member posted that shortly after the lockdown in Xi'an, her aunt who was 8 months pregnant had a stomachache and could not get through 120, and then called 110 to send her aunt to the hospital. Arrived at Xi'an High-tech Hospital at 8 p.m., and could not be admitted at the door due to nucleic acid problems, and waited until more than 10 p.m. While waiting at the door, the aunt was bleeding heavily and the 8-month-old baby was miscarried.
Another patient's family member posted that his father had sudden angina and asked for help from many local hospitals, and was not treated in Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital on the grounds of medium-risk areas, and contacting several other hospitals was also clearly told not to accept. 8 hours after the onset of angina, the operation was performed at the International Medical Center, but the delay was too long to be successfully treated.
On January 6, Xi'an City held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and made a notification on the incident of "pregnant women waiting for 2 hours at the entrance of high-tech hospitals to miscarry". At the press conference, Liu Shunzhi, director of the Xi'an Municipal Health Commission, publicly apologized.

In December 2021, Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital and Xi'an High-tech Hospital officially signed a cooperation agreement with Miaoyou Medical in the United States, becoming the second and third member hospitals of Miaoyou Medical Alliance in China.
It is reported that the predecessor of international medicine, "Shaanxi Jiefang A" (000516), is the first listed company in the northwest region, in 2011, Xi'an International Medical High-tech Hospital was merged into a listed company, later renamed "International Medicine", and in 2018, it completely divested the department store business and completely transformed into a medical service enterprise. At present, there are three hospitals under the umbrella of International Medicine, in addition to the above two, there is also a Xi'an International Medical Shangluo Hospital.
According to Professor Guo Shuzhong, director of the Department of Plastic Surgery of Xi'an International Medical Center, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the hospitals under Xi'an International Medical Group have sent 9 batches of medical teams and 511 medical staff to participate in the diagnosis and treatment of new crown pneumonia designated hospitals; 107 batches of nucleic acid sampling teams and 6918 medical staff have been selected to complete more than four million (4200420) nucleic acid sampling.
At the beginning of 2020, as the "epicenter" of Wuhan suffered a heavy blow in the war against the epidemic, Xi'an International Medicine took the initiative to ask for help, and successively selected 6 batches of 330 respiratory, severe, infectious and cardiology experts from the three major campuses to participate in the national medical team organized by Shaanxi Province to support Wuhan Eighth Hospital, Wuhan Union Hospital, Suizhou Central Hospital, Wuhan Optics Valley Fang cabin and other hospitals.
It is reported that the international medical team brought its own protective equipment and medical supplies to the epidemic area, and the medical team took over the Eighth Hospital of Wuhan City, which was seriously affected by the epidemic after arriving in Wuhan. This hard-core rescue team involves multiple departments such as respiratory, infection control, and critical care medicine, and 70% of the hospital's specialty hospital presidents and department directors have participated in the fight against the epidemic in Hubei.
A doctor with severe trauma xi in Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital said on his personal weibo that at the beginning of this round of the epidemic, he was transferred by the Xi'an Municipal Health Commission to the new crown designated hospital to start treating confirmed patients.
"As the first batch of doctors in the hospital's medical team to enter the infection ward, I am well aware of the sense of mission and responsibility on my shoulders, and I dare not slack off in the slightest." The last moment of 2021, still working in the infection ward, watching the clock reach 00:00:00, 2022 new year opens, I feel confidence and strength, the blood in my heart is surging, the new diagnosis from the beginning of the day of the collapse of the brink, to the present new has also been decreasing, watching the patient get better day by day, more and more patients discharged from the hospital, I believe that with the joint efforts of all medical care, Xi'an will restore the hustle and bustle of the past, to today's hospital closure and rectification, Still contributing their own strength, no matter what, I hope that Xi'an is getting better and better, and things like this and other unsatisfactory things will not happen again, and can really achieve a dignified life for patients and a dignified job for doctors. ”
