According to relevant data, the treatment of doctors in Hunan University is not as good as that in big hospitals. The level of university hospitals is relatively low, and they are generally first-class hospitals, which is equivalent to the level of township hospitals. Many functions are not available and the conditions are limited. Being a school doctor in a university basically depends on salary. School doctors are the salary standard of institutions, similar to teachers, but teachers have income such as class fees, while school hospitals have low income and even school grants, so the treatment is relatively low in universities.

Hunan University originated from Yuelu Academy, which was founded in 976 AD, and was transformed into Hunan College in 1903. 1926 was named the provincial Hunan university, and 1937 became the 15 national university of the national government. In 1950, Mao Zedong wrote down the name of the school. 1953 was renamed as central south institute of architecture and engineering in the adjustment of national departments, and 1959 restored the name of Hunan university. In 2000, it merged with Hunan University of Finance and Economics to form a new Hunan University.
