Concurrently with the competition, Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital and Gansu Provincial Hospital held a signing ceremony for a dental specialty medical alliance. The two institutions will engage in in‑depth collaboration in areas including discipline development, talent pipeline cultivation, clinical technical cooperation, complex case consultations, and research initiatives. This partnership aims to facilitate the distribution of high‑quality provincial‑level oral medical resources to the local level, supporting the enhancement and upgrading of oral healthcare capacity in Wuwei.

As the host institution of the Wuwei Oral Medicine Quality Control Center, our Department of Stomatology fully leverages the hospital's strengths in oncology specialty clusters, developing distinctive expertise in complex oral and maxillofacial conditions, post‑tumor reconstructive surgery, temporomandibular joint disorders, and multidisciplinary management of complex oral cases. The department is equipped with advanced systems including the Sirona CT (Germany), a surgical microscope, nitrous oxide sedation and analgesia systems, and a range of mainstream implant devices. It offers a full spectrum of oral diagnostic and treatment services, including digital implantology, microscopic root canal therapy, invisible orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery — enabling local residents to access high‑quality, standardized oral care without leaving their community.

This skills competition served as both a comprehensive assessment of the emergency response capabilities of oral healthcare professionals across the city and a valuable platform for mutual learning and exchange. Moving forward, our hospital will fulfill its responsibilities as the lead institution of the quality control center by continuing to organize academic exchanges, skills training, and other activities. Leveraging the collaborative benefits of the medical alliance, we will further standardize oral healthcare practices and comprehensively drive the high‑quality development of oral medicine in Wuwei, safeguarding the oral health of the community.
