Gynaecology

The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Peking University People's Hospital was founded in April 1942 by Professor Lin Qiaozhi, a renowned specialist in gynecology and obstetrics. Under the leadership of several generations of academic leaders, including Wang Yaoyun, Li Zixin, Qian Henian, Wan Huanzhong, Hu Yongfang, and Wei Lihui, the Department of Gynecology has focused its development on gynecologic oncology, cervical lesions, pelvic floor disorders, gynecologic endocrinology, minimally invasive surgery, and ultrasound diagnosis. It diagnoses and treats more than 150,000 outpatient visits annually and more than 5000 inpatients annually, with patients from outside the local area accounting for more than 1/3. The Gynecologic Oncology Center and the Pelvic Floor Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center have been established. It ranked second nationally in the clinical discipline evaluation of the National Health and Family Planning Commission and has considerable influence in China.

The Department of Gynecology currently has 108 beds (58 in the complex surgery ward, 28 in the general surgery ward, and 22 in the chemotherapy ward). The department has a total of 110 staff members, including 37 physicians and 47 nurses. Among them, 11 hold senior professional titles (3 professors and 8 chief physicians), 12 hold associate senior professional titles (3 associate professors, 7 deputy chief physicians, and 2 associate research fellows), and 9 hold intermediate professional titles (5 attending physicians and 4 assistant research fellows). There are 4 doctoral supervisors and 8 master's supervisors, forming a well-structured academic team.

The Department of Gynecology was among the earliest institutions in China authorized to confer master's and doctoral degrees in gynecology and obstetrics, and has a faculty team with outstanding reputations, strong professional dedication, and commitment to teaching. Over the decades, it has trained a large number of clinical, research, and teaching professionals in gynecology and obstetrics, who are now working throughout China and overseas. Professors Qian Henian and Wei Lihui are recipients of the Taoli Award of the Peking University Health Science Center.

The Department of Gynecology is a key discipline of the Ministry of Education, a key discipline under the 211 Project, a national key clinical specialty of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, a training base for Class IV endoscopic techniques in gynecology of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, and a resident physician training base of the Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, among others.
