The hospital is well-versed in treating cardiovascular diseases and performing cardiac surgeries. It has completed 159 heart transplants since 1998, and was the first hospital in the world to achieve success in fetal cardiac surgery during labor, as well as the first in the country to conduct fetal cardiac intervention.

As of now, the hospital has 73 doctoral supervisors, and 200 master's supervisors. It has cultivated 1,126 doctoral and postgraduate students over the past five years.

According to Yu, the hospital had brought in 76 high-level talents by 2019, and has taken on 12 more over the past two years. Another 18-20 high-caliber talents will be employed by the end of this year.

To date, Huangpu has attracted partnerships with multiple renowned medical institutions including Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and Barcelona International Hospital.
