Your care journey in China, thoughtfully guided.

From the first question to follow-up, we coordinate the practical details of care in China — hospital matching, appointments, travel and interpretation — so you can focus on your health.

The Fudan Hospital Rankings

Find the hospital that leads in your condition.

China’s hospitals are measured by the Fudan rankings. We organise our directories around them, so you can see which hospitals are recognised as leading — and in which specialty.

Why patients come to China

From months of waiting to days.

For many international patients, the deciding factor is time. Where specialist care means months of waiting at home, China’s leading hospitals often see you within days — without compromising on expertise.

Lower costs

The procedure is the cheap part.

The same treatment that runs to tens of thousands at home can be arranged in China for little more than a flight, a few scans and a short stay — we map the full budget before you travel, so there are no surprises.

The measure China’s hospitals are judged by

The Fudan China Hospital Rankings.

An independent academic project by the Fudan University Hospital Management Institute — not a government list, but the one most widely referenced across China. Both of our directories are built on it, so you can see not just which hospitals exist, but which are recognised as leading in a given field.

National overall list

The 2023 overall list groups 100 hospitals into five tiers of 20. Hospitals inside a tier are not ranked against one another — the published order follows region and hospital name.

45 specialty reputation lists

Alongside the overall list, separate reputation lists cover 45 clinical specialties — from cardiology and oncology to fertility and rare diseases. This is the fastest way to see which hospitals are known for what.
