Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital

The establishment of Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital can be traced back to 1986 in March. At the invitation of the Shenzhen Municipal Government, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhongshan Medical University dispatched a medical experts team headed by Professor MEI Hua to establish the Shenzhen Medical Center of Zhongshan Medical University. The Shenzhen Medical Center provided various medical services including urology, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, oncology, gynaecology, pediatrics, Chinese medicine, oral cavity and ENT. In 1997, the Medical Center was upgraded as a hospital. At that year, the father of Chinese IVF and Professor of Zhongshan Medical University, Professor ZHUANG Guanglun established the IVF center in this hospital, which is the first IVF center in Shenzhen. In 2003, the hospital was reorganized and renamed as Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital.

In 2009, the hospital moved to No. 1001, Fuqiang Road, Futian District and the hospital area was expanded from 4,000 square meters to 10,000 square meters with 80 hospital beds. Currently, there are more than 300 medical staff, including 19 senior medical staff, 15 doctors and 42 masters. It is well known for its talent team, excellent and strong technology as well as scientific research strength. The hospital possesses numerous advanced medical equipments worth nearly 80 million yuan, most of which are imported from Germany, the United States and Italy.

Over the past 30 years since its establishment, the hospital has achieved fruitful results in the fields of urology and reproductive medicine. The hospital established the “Shenzhen Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base”. The Urology and Reproductive Laboratory was approved as “Shenzhen Medical Key Discipline (Key Laboratory)” by the Municipal Health Commission. The Reproductive Medicine Center was approved by Shenzhen Science and Technology Commission to establish “Shenzhen Key Laboratory for Reproductive Immunology of Peri-implantation". Approved by the Municipal Health Commission, the hospital and the Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University jointly established a joint research team on reproductive immunity. The Reproductive Medicine Center won the first prize of Shenzhen Science and Technology Progress Award, the second prize of National Maternal and Child Health Science and Technology Progress Award, and the second prize of Chinese Medical Science and Technology in 2015, 2017, 2018, respectively.
