The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University (also known as Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital and the First Clinical Medical College of Jinan University) is a directly affiliated hospital of Jinan University, a national "Double First-Class" university — the "highest institution of learning for overseas Chinese" — jointly established by the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Education and Guangdong Province. As a comprehensive top-tier Grade III-A hospital integrating medical care, teaching, research, prevention, health care and rehabilitation, it is a key construction hospital among Guangdong Province's high-level hospitals and one of the province's first high-level clinical medical colleges. It is also a member of the Guangzhou Research Hospital Alliance, the general hospital of the Tianhe District Urban Medical Group, and a designated medical institution under the "Hong Kong-Macao Drug and Device Connect" program. Since the national performance assessment of tertiary public hospitals began, it has ranked first in the country for consecutive years in the comprehensive group without annual reports.

Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Provincial Institute of Medicine) was founded in 1946 and is one of the largest and strongest comprehensive hospitals in China. The hospital follows a "strong specialties, broad integration" model with cardiovascular medicine as its core pillar. Its cardiovascular disease treatment level has consistently ranked at the forefront nationally, with extremely high technical barriers in cardiothoracic surgery and cardiology. It was the first in mainland China to perform many international cutting-edge surgeries. As a designated medical institution under the "Hong Kong-Macao Drug and Device Connect" program, the hospital actively participates in the Greater Bay Area medical integration and provides international advanced drug and device treatment solutions to patients worldwide.
