According to the “Regulation on hospital classifications", Chinese hospitals are divided into three tiers. A tier one hospital is a community hospital or clinic that is responsible for providing primary medical services and care. A tier two hospital is a regional hospital that provides comprehensive medical and health services to several communities and performs certain teaching and scientific research tasks. A tier three hospital is an institution that provides high-level specialized medical and health services to several regions and performs higher teaching and research tasks.
