What patients from abroad should know
From patient reports, media and official pages. Both sides, so you can decide.
Works well 6
- Separate entrance and 24-hour security give foreign patients privacy (Renji IMS FAQ, 2026).
- Wide language support; staff interpret doctor-patient conversations in real time (Renji IMS, 2026).
- Easy payment: Visa/Mastercard, Alipay, WeChat Pay, cash, and direct billing with 32 insurers (Renji IMS, 2026).
- Clear cross-border process: email your records, get an initial plan in 1–3 working days, with help on visa letters (Renji IMS FAQ, 2026).
- Inpatient bills can be checked in real time in the WeChat mini program; records are emailed after discharge or shipped by SF Express or DHL (Renji IMS FAQ, 2026).
- A Malaysian toddler received a living-donor liver transplant from his mother here, widely reported in Malaysian media (Xinmin Evening News, 2024).
Watch out for 6
- No published price list; each item must be quoted, and Haodf lists Renji's general VIP clinics at CNY 300–1500 per visit depending on the doctor (2026).
- South and North campus international services are weekdays only; the North campus uses a personal 163.com email address (Renji IMS, 2026).
- Main international center is in Pudong, a river crossing for Puxi residents; the West campus window focuses on urology (Renji IMS, 2026).
- Ophthalmology and dentistry are not on the international specialty lists (city directory, 2024).
- Some English IMS pages still show placeholder text, such as a doctor profile describing another hospital's neurology clinic; confirm details by phone or email (site check, Oct 2026).
- Major procedures are costly: a Mongolian family needed help from relatives and outside donors to pay about CNY 200,000 for an infant's liver transplant and recovery (Sixth Tone, 2026).

- Whether listed IMS doctors hold regular international clinic hours, and their fees, is unverified.
- Insurer list was read from logos; full names of HSC and SSC unverified.
- No evidence found of JCI accreditation; the international service is DNV GL accredited.
- Hospital-wide annual outpatient visits not found.
- Phone booking hours: one page says weekdays, others Mon–Sat; Saturday phone booking unverified.
- Fudan 2024 rankings were not available; 2023 edition used.

- Sun Yun was not found on Haodf; clinic times unverified.
- Whether the 2018 international fertility clinic (US specialist, CNY 800) still runs is unknown.
- Checkup package prices: neither the IMS personalized physical examination nor the Health Management Center publishes prices on official pages; only outdated third-party booking listings were found and not used.
- Inpatient deposit amount not published; the hospital revised its inpatient deposit rules in Sept 2025 under a national notice, but the new amounts are not public.
- English itemized receipt: the IMS discharge package lists a 'detailed expense list' but does not say it is in English; a city page mentions 'bilingual direct billing' without detail.
- Imaging export format: the discharge package includes 'imaging materials' (format not stated) and the hospital says imaging can be viewed online; whether overseas patients get a DICOM disc or a cloud link is unverified.
- Passport on WeChat booking: the WeChat add-card form defaults to a Chinese ID card; whether a passport can be used there is unverified. Phone/email booking via IMS treats the passport as the patient ID.

- Telemedicine fees (CNY 2,000 / 5,000) are the IMS list price; whether the pre-visit email review of records is free is not stated.
- Visa letter: official texts say IMS helps foreign liver-transplant children and parents obtain entry medical visas and prepares admission letters and medical certificates for extensions; whether a pre-arrival invitation letter is issued for every patient type is not stated.
- Hours conflict: Chinese international clinic page (2024) and city Japanese page (2025) give East campus Sat 8:00–16:00 and West campus weekdays only; the IMS English page says Mon–Sat 8:00–17:00 at both.
- Direct-billing insurer count differs: 32 (IMS billing page), 34 (city Japanese page, Aug 2025), 35 (Renji WeChat, Dec 2025).
- IMS English program pages describe donor-sperm treatment for single women and same-sex couples and egg freezing for personal reasons; no Chinese-language Renji page says this, and it must be checked against national assisted-reproduction rules before any use.
- Kidney care: whether foreign dialysis or nephrology patients can be admitted, and dialysis session prices for travelers, are not published.
- Spine, dental, eye and thyroid care: departments exist, but whether IMS books foreign patients into them is not stated.
