'仍需' is a compound expression meaning 'still need' or 'still requires.' It combines the character 仍 (rēng), meaning 'still' or 'yet,' and 需 (xū), meaning 'to need' or 'to require.' Together, they convey an ongoing necessity — something that remains necessary despite prior action, time passing, or changing circumstances. It is commonly used in formal, written, or semi-formal spoken contexts, especially in reports, medical advice, official notices, or academic writing.

The phrase typically precedes a verb or noun phrase indicating what is still needed — for example, '仍需治疗' (still needs treatment) or '仍需时间' (still needs time). It implies that expectations or conditions have not yet been met, and further action or waiting is essential. Unlike colloquial alternatives like 还要 or 还得, 仍需 carries a tone of objectivity and mild urgency, often suggesting a factual or professional assessment rather than personal preference.
