The hospital specializes in cerebrovascular diseases, brain tumors, epilepsy, functional neurosurgery, and neurointerventional procedures, and is particularly distinguished for pioneering minimally invasive cranial surgeries. Building on the legacy of Academician Wang Zhongcheng, widely regarded as the father of Chinese neurosurgery, Tiantan Hospital has set national benchmarks in complex neurosurgical techniques. Beyond neurosciences, the hospital maintains strong departments in cardiology, general surgery, intensive care, and rehabilitation, delivering comprehensive tertiary-level medical services to patients around the world.
