Is the hospital on holiday on the fifteenth day of the first month?

No holidays. According to the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Some Holiday Arrangements in 2024 issued by the Central People's Government, the fifteenth day of the first month is the Lantern Festival, which is one of the traditional festivals in China, but it is not a national statutory holiday. Statutory holidays include New Year's Day, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Labor Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and Spring Festival. On the fifteenth day of the first month, some units and companies may arrange holidays or adjust working hours to celebrate this festival. Hospitals are important institutions providing medical services. Generally speaking, the hospital will not have a holiday on the fifteenth day of the first month. Because hospitals need to respond to all kinds of emergency medical situations at any time to ensure the safety of patients. However, the specific holiday arrangements may vary according to different regions and hospitals. Some hospitals may arrange some employees to take turns to rest or adjust their working hours, but they usually ensure that there are enough doctors and nurses on the job to ensure the normal operation of medical services.
