Peking Union hospital celebrates 100th year

Ning Guang, president of Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said Peking Union Medical College Hospital "has a long and rich experience of medicine and most hospitals in China have learned from its experience".

In the 1950s, the hospital sent its medical talent to institutions all over China to help establish the country's healthcare system.

"Peking Union Medical College Hospital has become a guiding light for medicine, research and education not only in China, but also across the world," said Paul Rothman, chief executive officer of Johns Hopkins Medicine.

In recent years, the two hospitals have strengthened cooperation and set up exchange programs for clinicians, researchers and students.

As China's top hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has set its eyes on high-quality development to lead the way for China's modern medicine and build the best medical center in Asia.
