Shanghai roots.
Distinctive clinical strengths.
Opened in 1937 and named in commemoration of Sun Yat-sen, Zhongshan Hospital is affiliated with Fudan University. Its main Shanghai campus is in Xuhui district, within the city’s established medical and academic neighborhood.
The university’s hospital profile emphasizes cardiovascular, liver-cancer, renal and pulmonary care. It also identifies abdominal surgery and several diagnostic disciplines among the hospital’s characteristics.
