Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (Red House Hospital): Campus Guide & How to Book an Appointment

Overview

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (复旦大学附属妇产科医院), widely known as the Red House Hospital (红房子) due to its distinctive red-brick building, is one of China's most prestigious specialized hospitals for women's health. Founded in 1884, it is a Grade 3A specialized hospital exclusively dedicated to obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive medicine. The hospital is nationally recognized for its excellence in gynecologic oncology, IVF and assisted reproductive technology, obstetrics and high-risk pregnancy, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and endometriosis treatment. Its gynecologic oncology program — covering cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers — is among the most experienced and respected in China.

Campus Location

The hospital operates from its historic main campus:

• Main Campus — 419 Fangxie Road, Huangpu District. All specialist departments are concentrated here, including gynecologic oncology, IVF and reproductive medicine, obstetrics, minimally invasive surgery, and the endometriosis center.

All services are at the single main campus in Huangpu District. Plan travel and accommodation accordingly.
