Top-grade hospitals in Shanghai
Looking for the “best” hospitals in Shanghai? The right one depends on your medical needs — tell us yours and a person on our team matches you with hospitals and doctors that fit. The official yardstick for a hospital's overall level is its grade: Grade III, Class A (三级甲等) is the highest tier in China's hospital grading system. Of the hospitals we profile in Shanghai, 15 state this grade on an official page: Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University; Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University; Huashan Hospital, Fudan University; Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Renji Hospital — East Campus; Ruijin Hospital; Shanghai Children's Hospital; Shanghai Children's Medical Center; Shanghai General Hospital; Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital; Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital; Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital; Shanghai Tongji Hospital; Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine; and Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. A grade describes a hospital's scale and scope, not whether it is right for your condition. How hospital grades work.
Seeing a doctor in Shanghai as a foreigner
The Shanghai municipal government publishes an English guide to using the city’s hospitals. In outline: you register (guahao) at the admission desk and pay a registration fee, wait for your number, see the doctor, then pay for any prescriptions or tests before you receive them. For a hospital stay or surgery, the guide says patients need to pay the expected costs in advance. Bring your passport — it is the identity document used for registration — and expect to be issued a hospital card on your first visit.
Appointments at public hospitals can be made through the city’s Suishenban app, although the government’s own guide notes that you may need some basic Chinese. This is one reason many international patients use a hospital’s international medical department instead, where booking is handled separately.
What is changing
At the end of 2024 the Shanghai government issued measures to develop international medical services. They call for standardised international medical departments in public hospitals, foreign-language versions of the city’s appointment platforms, more payment channels (RMB cash, domestic and foreign bank cards, mobile payment and direct insurance billing), multilingual medical documents, and easier exit-entry paperwork for foreign patients. Huashan Hospital states that in 2024 it was named one of Shanghai’s pilot public hospitals for international medical tourism.
These are policy goals, and delivery varies by hospital. Check each profile for what a hospital has actually confirmed.
Choosing between campuses
Large Shanghai hospitals operate several campuses, sometimes on opposite sides of the Huangpu River. The international department may be on only one of them, so confirm the campus and building when you book.
