No, if it is a county (district) hospital in an ordinary city, then this hospital is at the official level. This assistant, if full-time, is usually a cadre at the main hall level. In fact, cadres at the main hall level are not recognized by the state as leadership sequences, but are equivalent to clerks. If transferred to the city or the province, he is just a clerk, equivalent to the level after a college student has just been admitted, and does not belong to the leadership. But in the hospital, he belongs to a leader. To put it simply, he is a cadre recognized by the hospital as one level lower than his real length. Sometimes, in fact, a hospital in a city is a very small administrative department. The assistant to the hospital president is not necessarily a department-level cadre, or even a civil servant. One employee will do, because there are few jobs. It doesn't matter who the dean says is his assistant. It's not like the mayor's secretary must have leading cadres to do it.

If the hospital is under the jurisdiction of a municipality directly under the central government or a sub-provincial city, then the hospital is a department-level cadre (most hospitals in sub-provincial cities are department-level and a few are department-level), then the dean is a department-level cadre (the same level as the county magistrate or district head of an ordinary city), and the assistant dean may be a department-level cadre, equivalent to the mayor level of an ordinary city.
