What patients from abroad should know

From patient reports, media and official pages. Both sides, so you can decide.

Works well 6

  • Orthopedics and sports medicine rank at the top nationally; well regarded for ACL, meniscus and complex fracture care.
  • The international center has its own desk inside the orthopedics building, so orthopedic patients avoid general outpatient queues.
  • 22 direct-billing partners, including Bupa, Allianz Partners, Cigna & CMB, MSH and Ping An Health; direct-billing inpatients can leave without settling at the cashier (Shanghai Health Commission list, 2024; MediLink page, 2026).
  • A third-party medical agency says outpatient visit to elective surgery usually takes 1–3 weeks.
  • In the VIP ward only the room is charged at VIP rates; tests, treatment and surgery are billed at regular-ward prices, and international insurance is accepted (hospital English site, 2026).
  • Senior sports medicine and joint surgeons hold VIP sessions in the orthopedic building (Building 8, 3F) on most weekdays (Haodf, Oct 2026).

Watch out for 6

  • International center is open weekdays only; nights and weekends mean the emergency room, which does not accept direct billing.
  • International ward (19F) closed for renovation since 2026-03-20; surgical patients should confirm reopening or use regular or VIP wards.
  • Information is thin: the English website (back online in October 2026) has no international-center page, and sources disagree on languages (English confirmed; Japanese only in a 2026 media guide; Korean only in a 2016 source) (checked 2026-10-07).
  • International center fees are not published; on Haodf, VIP sessions in the same building cost CNY 126, 326 or 526 depending on the doctor (Haodf, Oct 2026).
  • The Lingang campus is far from downtown, and its international center phone number differs between sources.
  • Regular specialist slots open 7–14 days ahead and go fast; cancel by 17:00 the day before, as repeated no-shows can block booking (agency guide, 2026).
