The Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, located in Tianhe district, has been upgraded to a national-level children's medical center, marking a significant step in the district's healthcare development.

The National Health Commission announced on May 6, 2026, a major effort reflecting the district's commitment to developing high-level hospitals.

Rooted in Tianhe and serving the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the center has long been a cornerstone in addressing complex medical care, fostering research and innovation, cultivating talent and responding to public health emergencies for women and children in Guangdong province and South China.

In 2025, the center recorded 4.89 million outpatient visits, 167,000 discharges, 120,000 surgeries and 30,000 deliveries, demonstrating its strong capacity to safeguard maternal and child health.

The Tianhe district government has consistently prioritized hospital development. Through the provision of sites, supportive policies and collaborative efforts, the district has played a crucial role in facilitating the center's upgrade.

Tianhe will continue to optimize healthcare resources and strengthen the center's leading role, contributing to the health and well-being of women and children across the Greater Bay Area.
