organisation involved in scholarly research
Hainan Medical University (HMU or MUHN; 海南医科大学) is a provincial public medical college in Haikou, Hainan, China. It is affiliated with and funded by the Hainan Provincial People's Government.
The college was established in 1993.
History
The current college was created in 1993 with the approval of the central government. In 1951, two private medical colleges were merged to form the Hainan Specialized Medical School. These two colleges were Haiqiang Medical Vocational School (created in 1947) and the Medical College of Hainan University (established in 1948).
Mr. Tseven Soong was its first General Director of the Board. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, this school was restructured as the Hainan Medical Vocational School and later became the Medical Department of Hainan University.
In 1993, the college became the Hainan Medical College to reflect its specialization in medicine.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5639372. Authority coordinates are 19.984, 110.329. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 3 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 1951, 1947 and 1948.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
