Internal medicine and surgery are the first-level branches of the hospital, cardiovascular medicine and digestive medicine are the second-level branches, and nephrology and diabetes are the third-level branches. Small hospitals have only first-class branches, while large and medium-sized hospitals have second-and third-class branches.
