The Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital (Chinese: 武汉市金银潭医院) is a public hospital located on Jinyintan Avenue in the Jiangjunlu Subdistrict, in the Dongxihu District of Wuhan, Hubei, China, and a unit directly under the Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Committee.[1] Jinyintan Hospital specialises in infectious diseases.[2][3][4] Jinyintan Hospital is one of the designated hospitals for emergency medical treatment in Hubei, including Wuhan.[5][6][7] The hospital's president is Dr. Zhang Dingyu, a respiratory specialist.[8][9] Its vice-director is Dr. Huang Chaolin.[7]

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, many of those infected were treated here, including some of the first COVID-19 patients.[2][10] The hospital saw 170 people with pneumonia symptoms by January 23, 2020, and nearly 500 COVID-19 patients at the peak of the pandemic in Wuhan.[11][8] In January 2020, a group of researchers at the hospital published a paper in which they said they were concerned that the virus had "acquired the ability for efficient human transmission".[12]
