In plain English

This repository is a community-maintained open dataset of hospitals in China, assembled by a volunteer group called Open Power. The stated purpose is to provide patients and their families with reference information about certain medical institutions when they are searching for healthcare. The project is entirely in Chinese, with an English README linked at the top. The core of the repository is a list of hospitals that meet at least one of three criteria: they have placed paid advertisements on Baidu (China's dominant search engine), they have been reported by media outlets for medical fraud or deceptive practices, or they have a direct connection to what is known as the Putian system. The Putian system refers to a network of private clinics and hospitals originating from Putian county in Fujian province, which has attracted significant controversy in China over allegations of misleading marketing and questionable medical practices. The hospital list is organized by city and province across mainland China. It is not a comprehensive directory of all hospitals, but specifically a list of those flagged under the above criteria. The data is published under an open data usage license, and contributions from the public are welcome through the issues section. The maintainers note that verifying information is complex and time-consuming, and they cannot guarantee completeness. Several related community projects are linked in the README, including browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that warn users when they visit a listed hospital's website, Android and iOS apps for local lookups, and a WeChat mini-program. These companion tools were built independently by other volunteers using the data from this repository. The full README is longer than what was shown.
