Dongguan People's Hospital was founded in the 14th year of Guangxu period of Qing dynasty, 1888 AD. Its predecessor was Chinese Christian Rheneish Missionary Society Puji Hospital established by the German Basel Mission. It is one of the earliest Western hospitals installed in China. It has witnessed three centuries and has gone through more than 100 years of history. At that time, buildings of the hospital were built with red wall and green tile, which was Western-style , and was referred to by the locals a Red Mansion hospital. The nickname lasts until now.

This demonstrates a brand new progress in its overall strength such as management capacity, technology, quality and safety. 4,529 employees in total in the hospital have embarked on a new journey to pursue higher goals.
