History
The hospital was founded in 1937 as the Underprivileged Children's Hospital (Chinese: 上海难童医院), by doctors Fu Wenshou (富文寿; W. S. Fu) and Su Zufei (苏祖斐). It was the first children's hospital in China.[1] During World War II, when large numbers of European Jewish refugees fled to Shanghai, the hospital, under Superintendent Dr. Fu, provided treatment to sick children and pregnant women free of charge.[2]
It was renamed Shanghai Children's Hospital in 1953, and became a teaching hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine in 2003.[1]
