Department Overview

The Department of Hematology has a long and distinguished history. In 1955, Professor Deng Chang'an, a renowned hematologist and medical educator, established the Hematology Ward, which became an integral part of the Department of Internal Medicine, treating both general internal medicine patients and those with blood disorders. In 1973, the West China Internal Medicine Hematology Specialty Group was formed, and in 1986, the department was officially established as an independent unit. In 2008, it was recognized as a "Key Clinical Specialty of Sichuan Provincial Health Department," and in 2011, it was awarded the "National Clinical Key Specialty Construction Project" by the Ministry of Health. The department consistently ranks among the top seven to nine positions in Fudan University's ranking of China's Best Clinical Specialties and in the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences' ranking of specialties with the greatest scientific and technological influence. Moreover, the Department of Hematology at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, is authorized to confer doctoral and master's degrees under the approval of the Ministry of Education, serves as a national training base for resident physicians specializing in hematology accredited by the Ministry of Health, and also functions as the Sichuan Provincial Center for Quality Control of Hematological Care.
