First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University

The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University (simplified Chinese: 中国医科大学附属第一医院; traditional Chinese: 中國醫科大學附屬第一醫院; pinyin: Zhōngguó Yīkē Dàxué Fùshǔ Dìyī Yīyuàn), or the First Hospital of China Medical University, is a large comprehensive Grade A tertiary hospital located in Heping, Shenyang of China. It was founded in 1908 and is now affiliated to the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China and the China Medical University (Liaoning). History The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University has two predecessors: the Fujian Changting Gospel Hospital and the Shenyang South Manchuria Railway Company Fengtian Hospital, both were founded in October 1908. In 1933, the Gospel Hospital was reorganized into the Central Red Hospital, and then became the affiliated hospital of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Health School, which was later renamed "China Medical University" in Yan'an. In 1941, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for the students of China Medical University in Yan'an: "救死扶傷，實行革命的人道主義" (Save the dying and the wounded, and practice revolutionary humanitarianism), which later became the motto for all hospitals in China. After the liberation of Shenyang in 1948, the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University took over the Fengtian Hospital of the South Manchuria Railway Company, which was also founded in October 1908. During the war years, the hospital treated many Red Army leaders, including Mao Zedong, Chen Yun, He Long and Luo Ronghuan. On the Long March, it also saved Zhou Enlai, who was in critical condition. In early 1995, Ma Xiaowei, then president of the hospital and later vice minister of the Ministry of Health, pioneered the "patient-centered" service concept. His reform achievements attracted the attention of the health circles at home and abroad. In 2017, Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese political prisoner, dissident, and Nobel Peace Prize winner who was suffering from advanced liver cancer, was released on medical parole and received treatment at the hospital. He died there on July 13. On October 18, 2019, the hospital was approved to become one of the first batch of Internet hospitals in Liaoning Province. It then organized and routinely carried out the 5G smart hospital projects, covering surgery, consultation, handover, ward rounds, teaching, patient education, scientific research, etc. Current situation The First Hospital of China Medical University has developed into a well-known regional center for medical treatment, education and research.
