Department Overview

The Department of Neurology was established in 1954 and was granted the authority to confer master’s degrees in 1981, followed by the right to award doctoral degrees in 2003. Today, it serves as a key national clinical specialty construction project department and is recognized as a leading discipline in Sichuan Province. Leveraging three stable areas of specialization—cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy and seizure disorders, and neurogenetic degenerative diseases—and benefiting from the advanced diagnostic and treatment facilities at Huaxi Hospital and the Sichuan Provincial Epilepsy Center, along with cutting-edge neuro-intensive care units and robust multidisciplinary collaboration, the department remains patient-centered, prioritizing medical safety and quality. Focused on enhancing healthcare delivery capabilities and standards, it diligently carries out its medical mission, providing high-quality, evidence-based diagnosis and treatment for neurological disorders to patients nationwide. In 2010, the department was honored as an Advanced Collective within China’s National Medical and Health System.
