Zhang Junjie, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), is a cardiologist and vice president of Nanjing First Hospital. He has been committed to the interventional diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, diligently studying advanced medical technology, and treating patients with exquisite medical skills.

In 2023, Zhang was elected a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress. He often led teams of experts to carry out free medical services in communities and in-depth grassroots research.

Zhang plans to offer suggestions on strengthening the guidance of the rule of law and promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals at the upcoming second session of the 14th NPC. He hopes that health authorities at all levels and hospitals will continue to optimize and improve the management system from various aspects.
