Cuizhu Community Rehabilitation Center in Luohu is the largest one of its kind in Shenzhen and has some of the best equipment and complete services.

It is the epitome of the district’s efforts to develop and improve community public health services, forming a 15-minute-by-walk medical service circle across the district. As such, it has been recognized as a model for the high-quality development of grassroots public health causes in the country.

Luohu has continuously optimized the allocation of resources and improved its service systems to enhance and expand its community health services.

To meet the needs of community rehabilitation centers, the district has introduced 127 general practitioners and 50 public health personnel and sent more than 100 medical personnel to medical schools at well-known universities at home and abroad for training each year. It also conducts standardized teaching and training for 427 general practitioners annually.

The number of general practitioners at community rehabilitation centers in Luohu has so far reached 721, and the number of general practitioners per 10,000 residents has reached 6.3, meeting the national target of 3.9 for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) ahead of schedule. This figure is expected to hit 7.5 by 2030, when it is hoped that grassroots medical health agencies will provide more than 75% of overall diagnoses and treatments for the people.

The community rehabilitation centers in Luohu now cover the whole life cycle of local residents, including prevention and treatment programs related to hand hygiene, scoliosis, myopia, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer.

Thanks to these efforts, it has become much more convenient for individuals to see a doctor near home, saving them time and considerable medical expenditure. The smooth functioning of community rehabilitation centers as the foundation of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system also effectively helps to relieve the burdens on big hospitals.
