Its Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine department has ranked #1 nationally on the Fudan specialty reputation ranking for 15 consecutive years, and the hospital played a central role in China's clinical response to SARS, avian influenza and COVID-19. It is also the only hospital in South China authorized to perform lung transplantation, and pioneered the internationally adopted 'tubeless' minimally invasive thoracic surgery technique. Urology is a Guangdong provincial key discipline and home to China's first national minimally invasive surgery training center.
