Region's Health Technology Program
Clinical Engineering Key Discipline Construction
 Discipline construction plays an increasingly important role in the
development of a hospital, thereby improving health service delivery,
in terms of quality and efficiency.
 The Clinical engineering department of Inner Mongolia People’s
Hospital was originally established in 1982. By integration of good
management practice, scientific research, education
and training, sustainable development of the discipline has
been promoted.
