Hospitals
Hospitals we work with
We start with West China Hospital because it is the strongest single-site hospital in southwest China and we know its international pathway in detail. We are adding partner hospitals across other specialties and cities — each entry is verified before publication, and carries the date it was last checked.
West China Hospital, Sichuan University四川大学华西医院
Widely regarded as one of China's best hospitals and the medical centre of southwest China.
- No. 7 worldwide · No. 1 in China in the Nature Index (2025–2026)
- 5,000+ beds on one campus, with dozens of nationally designated key clinical specialties
- Joint case reviews with leading US centres — Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic
For international patients: the Special-Needs (International) Medical Center 特需(国际)医疗中心 has long experience treating overseas patients, with a bilingual team, hotel-style single rooms and international direct billing.
The International Medical Center publishes its own English contact details for visa support and appointments — wchscuimc@163.com, +86 28 8542 2788. You are welcome to contact them directly; we are not an intermediary you are required to go through.
West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University四川大学华西第二医院(华西妇产儿童医院)
A separate institution from West China Hospital, specialising in obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics — the referral centre for complex maternal and neonatal cases in southwest China.
- A different hospital from West China Hospital despite the shared name — patients regularly confuse the two, and it matters when you are booking
- Specialises in obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics and assisted reproduction
- Listed on the US Embassy's hospital list for China as treating foreign nationals
- Assisted reproduction in China is restricted by regulation — eligibility depends on marital status, indication and documentation, and we check this before you plan anything
For international patients: the hospital treats foreign nationals, and this is the institution to consider for fertility, maternal and paediatric care in Chengdu. We have not yet verified its international-department pathway first-hand, so treat the details here as a starting point rather than a confirmed service description.
Verification in progress. We are confirming the international patient pathway, English-language support and billing arrangements directly with the hospital. Until that is done we will not describe its services in more detail than the public record supports.
What separates a partner hospital from a directory listing
The reference directory below is a public-information list, and most entries are marked listing only — we have not walked their international pathway. A hospital becomes a partner only once we have done that ourselves, and only those carry a verification date and a pathway-verified badge. We are working through oncology, orthopaedics and fertility centres in Chengdu and other cities now.
Insurance direct billing — the evidence, not a claim
Every coordinator claims to work with international insurers. Here is the West China International Medical Center's own published display board, photographed on site. If your insurer is on it, direct billing is worth asking about — we verify your specific policy with the hospital before you travel, and coverage decisions always rest with your insurer, not with us and not with the hospital.
Reference directory
58+ hospitals with an international department
Beyond the hospitals we work with directly, here is a reference list of major Chinese public hospitals that operate a dedicated international, VIP or special-needs department for foreign patients. Use it to see what exists where.
This is a directory, not a partnership list. We have not verified or contracted with most of these hospitals, and being listed here does not mean TFUCare can book you in. Where we have walked the international pathway ourselves, the entry is marked pathway verified. Everything else is listed for reference only. Hospital names and international-department names were cross-checked against published insurer direct-billing directories.

No hospital matches that filter.
Naming varies by hospital: 国际医疗部, 特诊部, 特需门诊 and 金卡医疗部 all describe the same idea — a department set up for patients who are not in the standard outpatient queue. If you contact a hospital directly, ask for the international department by its Chinese name.
What every listed hospital must clear
- National Grade 3A — China's highest hospital tier. Not every hospital that treats foreigners holds it.
- An international patient department — A dedicated department with bilingual staff and an established pathway for foreign patients — not an improvised arrangement.
- Named specialty depth — Nationally designated key clinical specialties, or independently verifiable specialty rankings.
- Published volume or outcomes — Where the hospital publishes surgical volumes or outcome data, we cite it.
- Direct billing arrangements — Published arrangements with international insurers, where they exist.
- Cost transparency — The hospital will quote in writing against your records rather than on a webpage.
TFUCare is an independent patient-service company. We are not a hospital's agent or official partner unless formally announced. Hospital information below is compiled from public sources including the hospitals' own websites and on-site displays.
Questions about the directory
Are you officially partnered with these hospitals?
No, and we will not imply otherwise. TFUCare is an independent patient-service company. We are not a hospital's agent, we hold no exclusive agreement, and nothing on this site should be read as an official endorsement by any hospital. What we do have is working familiarity with the international patient pathway at the hospitals we list — we know how their pre-review works, who to contact, and how long each step realistically takes. If we ever sign a formal partnership, we will say so explicitly on this page rather than letting you infer it.
How do you verify the information in the hospital directory?
Every entry is compiled from the hospital's own published material — official websites, on-site display boards and public ranking tables — and each one carries the date it was last checked. Where we cite a ranking we link to the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it. Where we cannot verify something, we leave it out instead of guessing. If you find an error in this directory, tell us and we will correct it and note the correction.
Why do you only list one hospital?
Because we would rather list one hospital we genuinely know than twenty we copied from a directory. Our starting point is West China Hospital: it is the strongest single-site hospital in southwest China, it has a dedicated international department with a mature pathway for foreign patients, and we know that pathway in operational detail. We are actively verifying further hospitals in Chengdu and other cities, and each will be added only once we have confirmed its international pathway ourselves. A short, honest directory beats a long, unverified one.
Can you get me into a specific doctor?
We can request a specific department or specialist, and the hospital decides. No coordinator can guarantee a named surgeon — the treating hospital confirms the operating list after it accepts your case, and that confirmation comes in writing. This matters because a common failure in this industry is showing a patient a famous doctor's profile and then quietly assigning someone else on the day. We would rather tell you honestly that the surgeon is confirmed once, in writing, before you fly.
Not sure which hospital fits your case?
