Fuwai Hospital

In the spring of 1956, the Chest Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was established based on the PLA 122 Sanatorium in Beijing, north of the Summer Palace.{{cite web |title=History |publisher=Fuwai Hospital |access-date=2025-04-25 |url=https://www.fuwai.com/News/Articles/Index/194}} In August 1958, the PLA Chest Hospital was transferred to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and it was officially named as "Fuchengmenwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences" or "Fuwai Hospital" for short.

After recognition of its cardiovascular specialization in 1961, the hospital was alternatively named the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases in May 1962.{{cite journal |author=Hang Yannan & Huang Yonglei |year=2001 |title=Pioneer of Modern Chinese Anesthesiology |journal=Foreign Medicine: Anesthesiology and Resuscitation |language=zh |publisher=Chinese Medical Association |issue=01 |pages=3-4 |issn=1673-4378}} In 1994, it was renamed as "Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences".
