Who Is Dr. Fan Jia?
Dr. Fan Jia (樊嘉) is an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the world's foremost authorities on liver cancer surgery and liver transplantation. As the President of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, and Director of its Liver Cancer Institute, Dr. Fan has dedicated his career to advancing the surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and improving outcomes for patients with end-stage liver disease. Under his leadership, Zhongshan Hospital has become one of the highest-volume liver surgery and transplantation centers in the world.

Why International Patients Choose Dr. Fan
Dr. Fan Jia is sought by international patients for his unparalleled experience in complex liver resections, his pioneering work in minimally invasive liver surgery, and his leadership of one of Asia's most advanced liver transplant programs.

His multidisciplinary approach — combining surgery, interventional radiology, and oncology — ensures every patient receives a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan.
