Works well 6

  • Prices are public: VIP consultation and ward fees, and the standard price list for tests, are posted on the hospital website (hospital price notice, 2026).
  • English and Japanese service; the hospital says most VIP doctors have trained or studied abroad (hospital VIP department page, 2026).
  • Email booking is available, and the city directory says replies come within 4 hours (Shanghai government directory, 2024).
  • The city's English portal says the VIP department offers one-stop general care, 24-hour outpatient and inpatient services, checkups and vaccinations (Shanghai government English portal, 2025).
