　　During the Spring Festival of 2020, Guo Hui led Shanghai Deji Hospital to quickly organize the only social medical rescue team in Shanghai. The team members carried 4 million yuan of anti-epidemic materials to the "Eye of the Epidemic Storm" - Wuhan Red Cross Hospital. As the representative of the returnees from studying abroad, after 60 days of fighting at the juncture of life and death, they triumphed safely.

On April 1, 2022, the anti-epidemic war of the Great Shanghai Defense War began. The doctors and nurses of Deji Hospital gave orders at 11:00 in the middle of the night to carry forward the experience and fighting spirit of Wuhan's anti-epidemic, and quickly assembled into a team within 1 hour according to the order. The Fangcang shelter rescue team, as the only socially-run hospital in Shanghai, took over an 800-bed Fangcang shelter hospital, and fought for 43 consecutive days until the cabin was closed.

　　At the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1999, Guo Hui went to study in the United States and served as an assistant professor at the New York University Medical Center for a long time.

"Out of my love for doctors and surgery, I chose to return to China to continue working as a neurosurgery expert and founded Shanghai Deji Hospital," Guo Hui said.

　　At the beginning of 2020, the new crown epidemic broke out in Wuhan.

Guo Hui remembers very clearly that after hearing the news of the Wuhan epidemic before the Spring Festival, he thought of "being prepared", so he called a staff meeting overnight, and proposed to reserve at least three months' worth of medical supplies and to reserve a large amount of medical supplies. Communicate with the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission on what preparations should be made, and how to prepare for a defensive counterattack if the epidemic comes.

　　"It is necessary to guard against the epidemic, but also whether to stop the emergency room, not to stop the outpatient clinic, and even less to reject patients." Guo Hui said.

　　When the country began to mobilize various public hospitals to support Wuhan, Guo Hui offered to set up a Shanghai social medical rescue team to support Wuhan.

In the end, under the call of the United Front Work Department of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Shanghai European and American Alumni Association, after active communication with the relevant responsible persons of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, Deji Hospital dispatched a team from the Critical Care Unit (ICU), the emergency department and the emergency department. The medical and nursing team of the Department of Medicine is also the only social medical rescue team from Shanghai to Wuhan.

　　"We asked to go to the most dangerous place," Guo Hui said. After arriving in Wuhan, he was assigned to the intensive care unit and emergency room of the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital, which is the closest to the Huanan Seafood Market. The other party suggested that there are no protective materials here. be infected.

　　Guo Hui told the "comrades" of the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital that sufficient supplies have been prepared for everyone. Don't worry, we can purchase them globally. "This is mainly to solve their ideological fear and anxiety."

　　The team members supporting Wuhan have a WeChat group. Guo Hui communicates with the team members on the front line every day. In addition to solving various problems at work, he also tells them to call their family members and tell them not to worry.

"Front-line doctors and nurses take greater risks," Guo Hui said with emotion.

　　At that time, in the face of the emergency situation that a large number of Chinese patients across the country and even the world were inconvenient to go out for medical treatment, Guo Hui once again led a hundred medical experts who returned from overseas studies and returned to China. Chinese patients provide public welfare video clinics and public welfare psychological counseling, and work overtime to deliver medicines to chronically ill patients in urban and rural areas across the country, alleviating the difficulty of medical treatment and medication for more than 300,000 patients.

　　Since the outbreak of this round of Shanghai epidemic, all the medical staff of Shanghai Deji Hospital have actively participated in epidemic prevention and control work, actively supported the front line of anti-epidemic, and quickly established an anti-epidemic vanguard team in a very short period of time. 10,000 person-times; during the lockdown period of the epidemic, Shanghai Deji Hospital cooperated with Shanghai Medical Assistant (Expert Clinic Network) to use the Internet medical platform to fully connect online and offline, delivering medicines to more than 1,200 households every day, solving the urgent need for citizens to dispense medicines. .

After the normalization of the epidemic, Deji took the lead in introducing a new type of mobile intelligent nucleic acid positive pressure sampling booth to make nucleic acid sampling safer, more efficient and convenient, and to better serve the people.

　　Under the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, Shanghai Deji Hospital/Qingdao University Shanghai Brain Medical Center, under the leadership of Professor Guo Hui, has made every effort to ensure the opening of clinics. To ensure the medical needs of critically ill patients, and resolutely protect the lives and health of the people.

In the actual combat of epidemic prevention and control, we continue to innovate methods, and take the lead in creating the first "incubation period observation ward" in Shanghai (one month later, we will call it "buffer ward"), so that patients can be properly placed, controlled accurately, and treated effectively. It is difficult for citizens to seek medical treatment during the epidemic.

　　Guo Hui, like in 2020, uses the hospital as his home and has been admitted to the hospital for more than a month to arrange front-line work.

In his view, in the face of the epidemic, as a hospital administrator, after making judgments based on facts, we must make various preparations and make various plans.
