The Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology of Xijing Hospital (First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University) in Xi'an was founded in 1954, with the renowned obstetrician-gynecologist Professor Wang Rongguang as its founding academic leader. Under department director Chen Biliang, it has grown into a comprehensive department with complete subspecialties — gynecologic oncology, minimally invasive surgery, perinatal medicine, prenatal diagnosis and assisted reproduction — and was the PLA's first doctoral-degree-granting discipline in obstetrics and gynecology, with a postdoctoral research station.
