A practical guide
When Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital May Be Worth Considering
- You are planning to travel to Chengdu and may need an organ transplant: Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital performs kidney, liver, pancreas and small-bowel transplants.
- You want a large comprehensive hospital (A++ national tier, 4,500 beds) with strong cardiology, nephrology, neurology and emergency medicine.
- You value its disaster-medicine expertise and an English-speaking international ward.
- You can pair treatment with a slower-paced Chengdu stay — Sichuan cuisine, giant pandas and tea-house culture make recovery more relaxed.
These points can help guide your research; they do not determine whether a hospital or treatment is right for you. Clinical decisions are made by the hospital’s licensed doctors.

Notes from Our Service Experience
The following reflects what we have learned while supporting international patients. Appointment arrangements, services and fees can vary; please confirm current details with the hospital.
01
Plan ahead for appointments
Based on our experience, appointments through the International Medical Department may become available about seven days in advance. If you plan to go independently, you may be able to book a few days ahead through the hospital’s official app or in person. The app does not offer an English interface, and registration counters may not have bilingual staff.
02
Consider whether the International Medical Department suits you
In our experience, foreign patients are generally not required to use an International Medical Department, though hospital policies may vary. Fees there are often substantially higher than at standard outpatient clinics. In return, it may offer dedicated consultation rooms, shorter waits, longer appointments and, in some cases, the ability to use international health insurance. For patients travelling alone, the additional support may make the visit easier.
03
A more cost-conscious route with coordination
For self-funded patients seeking a more economical option, we can help arrange care through the same channels used by local patients. Based on our experience, even after adding our coordination fee, the overall cost can be considerably lower than using the International Medical Department, while including advance appointment coordination, bilingual escort support and English medical reports.
