In the new era, enhanced Party construction of public hospitals is the fundamental assurance for the success of Healthy China strategy. Based on field survey, in-depth interview, literature review and promotion of pilot practices, the Hospital Party Construction Guidance Committee of Guangdong Province staged a " Four Virtues" program to enhance Party construction at public hospitals in the healthcare system of the province. This program, featuring " leadership competency" , " Party branch capability" , " Party construction branding" , and " Unit showcases" , aims at the limited implementation and homogenization problems commonly found in Party construction at public hospitals. Promotion of successful pilot practices of several public hospitals effectively encouraged the " parallel development" of both medical service and Party construction, providing useful references for the hospitals in their reform/development and Party construction in the new era.
