At the end of the meeting, Party secretary Wang Jian made a concluding speech. She pointed out that the discipline construction of hospitals achieved good results during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.

Reproductive medicine was ranked 7th in Fudan University's 2017 comprehensive ranking of Chinese hospitals. A discipline cluster led by reproductive medicine was initially formed. Two "Yangtze River-Rhine River" perinatal medicine forums were successfully held, and the "Yangtze River-Rhine River" conference perinatal medicine center construction standard was issued. The academic influence and discipline status of the hospital were continuously strengthened.

She emphasized that in recent years, the hospital has gone through the stage of "developing large by quantity and growing freely", which has laid a solid foundation for the development of the hospital. However, the problems of unbalanced and insufficient development of disciplines have gradually emerged.

Wang said some departments started their scientific research late, and the development of disciplines in the whole hospital is uneven. Cadres and workers in the hospital should fully understand the situation and enhance their sense of crisis.

She demanded that all departments in the hospital should set their direction, find their own orientation, and aim at their development goals.

They must focus on "chasing only one sheep" and roll up their sleeves to work harder to do a solid job in discipline construction and strive for early realization of the grand vision of a modern international hospital for women and children, said Wang.
