The Department of Otolaryngology of Guangdong Women and Children Hospital (Guangdong Children’s Hospital and Guangdong Women’s Hospital) is a comprehensive otolaryngology department covering pediatric and adult otolaryngology. The department is located at both the Yuexiu Campus and the Panyu Campus.

We receive more than 1,000 referred patients annually and have continuously held eleven national-level and/or provincial-level training courses on newborn hearing screening, diagnosis, and treatment. More than 3,000 trainees from all over the country have attended.
