Department of Reproductive endocrinology has been the site of important advances in women’s infertility. We carry out the first in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and gametes intrafallopian tube transfer (GIFT) in Zhejiang province and our hospital is one of the nation’s first ART hospitals. The first GIFT baby and the first IVF baby of Zhejiang province were born in November 13th, 1995 and July 10th, 1996 respectively.The first frozen embryo baby of Zhejiang Province was born in December, 1999. The first PGD baby (get rid of the genetic disease) of Zhejiang Province was born in September 26th, 2002.

Milestones include:

·Carried out the first selective embryo reduction in multiple gestations via vaginal ultrasound in Zhejiang Province in March, 1996.The successful rate now is about 99%.

·The reproductive medical center approved by the Health Department of Zhejiang province was established in 1997.

·Carried out the first frozen embryo technology in March, 1997, filling the blank area of Zhejiang Province.

·In 2000, the Department of Reproductive endocrinology was approved as key medical subjects by the Health Department of Zhejiang province.

·In 2001, we successfully managed the first PGD diagnose, and the first PGD baby (get rid of the genetic disease) of Zhejiang Province was born in September 26th, 2002.

·November, 2011, approved by national Ministry of Health, we become one of the first hospitals which could carry out all kinds of assisted reproductive technologies, including artificial insemination (AIH and AID), in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) etc.

·In March 2007, we were awarded as the national human training base of ART by the ministry of health (one of 12 units).
