Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hospitals in China for foreigners
What are the best hospitals in China for foreigners?
China's best hospitals for international patients are typically Grade 3A (三甲) institutions with dedicated international departments. Top-ranked hospitals include Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in Beijing — ranked #1 in China for 10 consecutive years — Beijing United Family Hospital (JCI-accredited private), Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai, and Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital in Guangzhou. The best hospital for you depends on your specific condition, preferred city, language needs, and insurance coverage. Use the search tool above to filter by these criteria.
How many hospitals are there in China?
China has over 35,000 hospitals, including approximately 1,795 Grade 3A institutions (the highest tier). Grade 3A hospitals are comprehensive, nationally-ranked medical centers comparable to major teaching hospitals in the US or UK. Our directory covers 771 verified hospitals across Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen that are accessible to international patients.
Do hospitals in China have English-speaking doctors?
Many top-tier hospitals in China's major cities have international departments (国际部) with English-speaking staff. Private international hospitals like United Family and Parkway Health operate entirely in English. At public hospitals, the international department typically costs 3-5x more than the standard department but still significantly less than Western prices. Our directory lets you filter hospitals by English-speaking availability.
How are hospitals in China ranked?
Chinese hospitals are ranked using a government-administered grading system. The highest tier is Grade 3A (三级甲等 or 三甲). Additionally, the Fudan University Hospital Management Research Institute publishes annual peer-reviewed rankings evaluated by nearly 6,000 medical experts. JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation is another quality marker recognized internationally.
Can foreigners go to any hospital in China?
Yes, foreigners can visit any hospital in China — you just need your passport for registration. However, for the best experience, we recommend hospitals with international departments or private international clinics, where English-speaking staff and familiar billing processes are available. Emergency care (ambulance: 120) is available to everyone regardless of nationality or insurance status.
