History

The hospital was founded on 1 March 1931 as the Sino-Belgian Radium Institute (Chinese: 中比鐳錠治療院, French: Institut Sino-Belge du Radium), sited in the Sacred Heart Hospital of Shanghai (Chinese: 上海聖心醫院, now Yangpu Central Hospital). It was funded by a minor remittence of Boxer Indemnity paid by China to Belgian. It became an independent institute in 1936, and was renamed Shanghai Radium Institute (Chinese: 上海鐳錠治療院) after the Communists captured Shanghai in 1949. It was affiliated to the Shanghai First Medical College from 1954, and renamed the Cancer Hospital of SFMC.[4][5]
