History

The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University has two predecessors: the Fujian Changting Gospel Hospital and the Shenyang South Manchuria Railway Company Fengtian Hospital, both were founded in October 1908.
In 1933, the Gospel Hospital was reorganized into the Central Red Hospital, and then became the affiliated hospital of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Health School, which was later renamed "China Medical University" in Yan'an.
In 1941, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for the students of China Medical University in Yan'an: "", which later became the motto for all hospitals in China.
After the liberation of Shenyang in 1948, the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University took over the Fengtian Hospital of the South Manchuria Railway Company, which was also founded in October 1908.
During the war years, the hospital treated many Red Army leaders, including Mao Zedong, Chen Yun, He Long and Luo Ronghuan. On the Long March, it also saved Zhou Enlai, who was in critical condition.
In early 1995, Ma Xiaowei, then president of the hospital and later vice minister of the Ministry of Health, pioneered the "patient-centered" service concept. His reform achievements attracted the attention of the health circles at home and abroad.
In 2017, Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese political prisoner, dissident, and Nobel Peace Prize winner who was suffering from advanced liver cancer, was released on medical parole and received treatment at the hospital. He died there on July 13.
On October 18, 2019, the hospital was approved to become one of the first batch of Internet hospitals in Liaoning Province. It then organized and routinely carried out the 5G smart hospital projects, covering surgery, consultation, handover, ward rounds, teaching, patient education, scientific research, etc.
