The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS),
established in August 1956, is the country's largest
multidisciplinary institution for biomedical research. The Peking Union
Medical College (PUMC), which was set up in September 1917, is the only
key medical university in China that carries an eight-year curriculum.
CAMS and PUMC are under the leadership by the same governing body
overseeing all affairs of medical research, education and patient
care.
19 institutes and 6 hospitals are attached to CAMS & PUMC
with a total staff of 11,145, including 8,000 specialists and technicians,
1262 professors and associate professors and 11 members of the Chinese
Academica Sinica. Three National Key Laboratories, 4 Ministerial Key
Laboratories and 2 National Key Industrial Pilot Plants have been set up
by the government and 8 WHO Collaborating Centers have been designated in
CAMS & PUMC. During the Seventh Five-Year Plan and the Eighth
Five-Year Plan periods, CAMS & PUMC secured 706 national grants and
198 grants from the Ministry of Public Health. From 1956 to 1992, CAMS
& PUMC has won 1137 awards in scientific research. Many of these
scientific and technological achievements through technology transfer have
been turned into products and applicable technology bearing great social
and economic benefit. At present, there are more than 20 products and each
gaining an annual output value of over 5 million yuan (5,000,000
Renminbi). CAMS & PUMC is one of the first group of academic
institutions that were granted the authorities to engage in import and
export activities by the government in 1993.
