Our department has always actively pursued external cooperation and exchange. In addition to cooperating and exchanging with leading medical schools and affiliated hospitals in China, it also engages in in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology and many other engineering universities, in order to further improve diagnostic and treatment technologies and the level of scientific research, and benefit the people of Heilongjiang. In addition, all medical and nursing personnel have made tremendous efforts to provide patients and their families with health education more effectively and to address difficulties such as follow-up care and return visits. Besides gradually establishing and improving distinctive diagnostic and treatment directions, they have also established a WeChat platform for Neurology Ward 6 and an effective follow-up system, providing patients with more convenient and timely services.

Neurology Ward 6 specializes mainly in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, dementia, dizziness, headaches, neuroimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, myasthenia gravis, etc.), infectious diseases of the central nervous system, and other conditions.

The department’s current distinctive features are as follows: 1. Our department operates a dementia clinic, which conducts appropriate standardized screening for patients with cognitive impairment (including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular cognitive impairment, etc.), identifies the etiology of dementia, and provides standardized, systematic treatment and management. 2. We have introduced ERP technology, which can be combined with relevant intelligent scales to screen people at high risk of cognitive impairment, improve the quality of cognitive function assessment, and provide early interventional treatment. 3. We provide standardized treatment and management for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.
