About

Nanfang Hospital was founded in 1941 as a field hospital of the New Fourth Army, later became the first affiliated hospital of the First Military Medical University, and was transferred from military to Guangdong provincial administration in 2004 as Southern Medical University's First Affiliated Hospital. It sits on one of Guangdong's largest garden-style hospital campuses, at the eastern foot of Baiyun Mountain, with roughly 2,225 beds, and has ranked nationally in the #15-19 range on the Fudan hospital ranking in recent years.

Its flagship discipline is Gastroenterology, a Ministry of Education national key discipline ranked #9 nationally for specialty reputation, #7 for research output, and #1 nationally for four consecutive years on China's hospital internet-influence ranking. Orthopedics is a national key (incubating) discipline ranked #1 in specialty reputation across South China, known for microsurgical limb reconstruction and (in the 1980s-90s) Asia's first allogeneic limb transplant.

Since the early years of China's reform era, the hospital's Huiqiao (Overseas Chinese) Department has treated more than 100,000 patients from 87 countries and regions, and was honored by China's Central Military Commission in 1995 as a 'model medical department for overseas Chinese' -- functioning as a hospital-wide VIP/international service line spanning nearly 30 specialty clinics rather than a single department.
