ABSTRACT

Outbreak of COVID-19 across the country has seriously threatened people′s lives and health, endangering smooth operation of the national economy and social stability. An all-out campaign to save these patients and reduce their mortality is not only one of the key tasks to fight against the epidemic, but also a major responsibility and mission of public hospitals. In view of the field practice of Wuhan Union Hospital in the epicenter, the authors described the challenges faced by such hospitals in the prevention and control, summarized its experiences and proposed improvement measures, for reference of other public hospitals and relevant authorities.
