Where treatment happens
Which city you fly to follows from your diagnosis, not the other way round. Here is what sits in each one.
China’s hospitals are ranked nationally each year by the Fudan University Hospital Management Institute. 63 of the country’s top 100 hospitals sit in the 7 cities we coordinate in — and they are not spread evenly. Where the right department is for your case is usually the thing that decides where you fly.

Travelling for cancer care? Cancer treatment in China sets out where the national oncology centres are and what CAR-T costs, and eye surgery in China does the same for the dedicated eye hospitals, and dental implants for the teaching stomatology hospitals. For other procedures, see indicative prices.
Hospital counts from 2023年度中国医院综合排行榜 (Fudan Hospital Ranking), Fudan University Hospital Management Institute, published November 2024. Specialty centres are hospitals in that ranking dedicated to a single field rather than general hospitals.
