Youth in Action: Party Building Empowering High-Quality Development of the Communist Youth League in Infectious Disease Hospitals — A New Practice

Abstract

Under the strategic framework of China’s high-quality public health development, Nanning Fourth People’s Hospital has pioneered a Party-guided Communist Youth League (CYL) model in infectious disease healthcare, demonstrating innovative organizational synergy and youth-driven impact. The hospital’s CYL committee established a tripartite development system—ideological anchoring, organizational optimization, and professional enablement—achieving transformative outcomes: a 210% increase in youth mobilization efficiency (2022–2024), 98% theoretical engagement via dual-track ideological education (“Party branch mentorship + youth lecture teams”), and recognition of clinical units as National/Provincial Youth Civilization Collectives. Breakthroughs in HIV/AIDS immunotherapy and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis management were realized through youth-led innovation. During COVID-19, 432 young clinicians under Party leadership achieved a 25% reduction in ICU mortality through standardized protocols while maintaining zero nosocomial infections. The “Nightingale” volunteer-service ecosystem integrated clinical expertise with community health initiatives, delivering 50,000+ beneficiary engagements. Future roadmaps prioritize AI-driven diagnostics, telemedicine networks, and a mentorship-based talent pipeline to strengthen grassroots infectious disease control. This practice validates the multiplier effect of Party-CYL collaboration in healthcare modernization, offering an exemplary model for aligning youth mobilization with the “Healthy China” strategy through socially accountable medical leadership.
