Over the past 18 years since its opening, TICH has performed cardiac surgery and interventional cardiovascular procedure for more than 200,000 patients from all over China and the foreign countries. On one hand, the hospital adhering to humanitarianism provides reasonable and quality medical service to the communities. In August 2004, TICH became the first hospital designated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China to carry out a charity program, namely “Tomorrow Plan”, to help treat the orphans suffering congenital heart diseases. Thereafter, through joint efforts with many charity organizations from both home and abroad, more than 14,000 orphan and underprivileged children, from 27 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, have gained their new lives in TICH. On the other hand, diversified niche service is offered to those in need, including some Hollywood movie star and foreign national leader.

Congenital Heart Disease is NO. 1 killer to 0-5 group children in China. Together with Tianjin Women and Children Health Center, TICH launched the first congenital heart disease screening program in China in 2005. Up to date, there have been more than 1400,000 children screened in Tianjin and surprisingly 2.09 % of them are positive. From 2010, hand in hand with China Mobile, TICH enlarged the congenital heart disease screening program to Qinghai, Tibet, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, and Jiangsu Provinces.

Three JCI golden medals, cardiovascular surgery, cardiology and nursing on the list of national clinic specialties, Tianjin Science & Technology first prize, the long-term survival experiment animal implanted with the third generation LVAD…….a string of footprints has been deeply marked in the course of its non-stop innovation and progress.

On November 15, 2010, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang visited TICH. He talked with patients, physicians, and nurses in the pharmacy and in the consultation rooms. Mr. Li confirmed wholeheartedly TICH’s manner of managing the hospital. He stated, “…TICH is in the leading position within the area of public hospital reform in China. In reforming our Public Hospital system, we seek not just to make the system as perfect as possible. We should take this opportunity to completely assess our system and diversify the investment and capital structures of hospitals. This will further provide better, more complete medical services to the Chinese people and enhance the skill of China’s medical staff.”
