As of 2010, it has logged an impressive 2.197 million outpatient and emergency visits, 51,000 hospital visits, and 27,000 surgeries.

In the 1990s, Taiwanese national He Chaoyu and his wife, Huang Meiying, donated money that went towards the construction of the Yuying Out-Patient Building and the Yuying Inpatient Building, thus augmenting the hospital's development.

Its current bed capacity of 3,000 is complemented by 56 treatment centres and clinical departments, 10 medical departments, a medical institution, a surgical centre and a medical experiment centre.
