摘要

Led by four generations of leadership from late Prof. JIANG Sichang (academician, Chinese Academy of Engineering), Prof. YANG Weiyan (Honorary President, Division of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Chinese Medical Association), Prof. HAN Dongyi (President Elected, Division of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Chinese Medical Association) to now Prof. YANG Shiming (President, Division of Otolaryngologists, Beijing Medical Doctor Association), the PLA General Hospital Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery has focused on prevention and treatment of deafness. Prof. JIANG started the department in 1959. Since then, by the efforts across several generations over more than half a century, the department has achieved great accomplishments in many areas including patient care, teaching and research. The department was made the Center of Otolaryngology by the PLA General Logistics Department and approved to award master degrees by the State Education Commission in 1978. Authorized by the PLA General Logistics Department, the PLA Institute of Otolaryngology was founded in 1987, which was rated as a national key academic unit by the State Education Commission in in 1989 (and again in 2002) and as a PLA key laboratory by the PLA General Logistics Department in 1992. The department was granted a sub-specialty hospital status within the PLA General Hospital in 2008 and started building the Department of Deafness Education Key Laboratory in 2012. It was awarded the National “973” Project Chief Scientist unit status in the same year. The department now receives nearly 200,000 outpatient visits a year, and has expanded and branched into sub-specialties including otology, audiology medicine, rhinology, head and neck surgeries and pharyngolaryngology and voice disorders. It runs 200 beds and has 1200 m2 research space supported by close to RMB 100,000,000 Yuan research funding for 148 important national and PAL projects. It has won over 100 science and technology progress awards at national and PLA levels. For many years, the department has been a model unit within the PLA General Hospital and its showcase unit for visitors. Today, as a subspecialty hospital that combines patient care, teaching and research, it enjoys its many sub-specialty divisions, well recognized services, deep talent reserves and strong expertise status, and provides first class care to patients from the military as well as the civilian population. Its graduates and trainees can now be seen all over China and across the world and are actively contributing to the advance of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery.Download full-size imageProf. JIANG SichangDownload full-size imageProf. JIANG Sichang, chairman,1959 - 1984Prof. YANG Weiyan, chairman, 1984 - 1998Prof. HAN Dongyi, chairman, 1998 - 2010Prof. YANG Shiming, chairman since 2010.
