In 1937, when the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, some teachers and students from Peking University Health Science Center were determined to relocate westward to establish Xi’an Temporary University Health Science Center, and the affiliated hospital was also established. After the development evolution of Northwest Medical College, Northwest University Medical College and Xi’an Medical College, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical College was settled down in 1956. In 2000, the college was merged with Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), and the hospital renamed as the First Affiliated Hospital (FAH) of XJTU. Due to generations of arduous and perseverant work, the hospital has achieved tremendous development, becoming a large-scale Grade III Level A hospital in Northwest China, administered by National Health Commission, which integrates medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, rehabilitation and preventive health. The hospital ranks among the leading positions in National Tertiary Public Hospital Performance Evaluation from 2018 to 2021. Currently, the hospital has been approved as one of the first-batch “counseling” affiliations of National Medical Center.
