Huashan Hospital has established itself as a pioneer in the specialty of microsurgery in China and provides international care to its patients from all around the world. In addition, Huashan Hospital has one of the most comprehensive medical facilities available with a wide variety of services.
This guide addresses international patients' critical concerns: navigating appointment booking, understanding transparent pricing (60-90% lower than Western equivalents), accessing English-speaking services through the dedicated International Medical Center, and experiencing world-class departments ranked top 1 in Asia for neurosurgery and managing 1.5 million dermatology visits annually.
Three Core Advantages: Heritage, Specialties, and International Support
1. Harvard Medical School origins and WHO designation ensure international-standard protocols and medical excellence
Huashan Hospital has maintained an unbroken connection with Massachusetts General Hospital, having had an established partnership as a result of sharing the same Mission, Vision and Values, for the last 118 years. With several landmark accomplishments throughout our history: The World’s First Successful Limb Reattachment Surgery in 1966, Huashan Hospital partnered with Massachusetts General Hospital (2004), and Huashan Hospital was chosen to become a Collaborating Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance (2020) by The World Health Organization.
The heritage of Huashan Hospital has resulted in Huashan Hospital producing bilingual medical record standards and research publications that have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine as well as establishing protocols that meet the standards of both the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China and The Joint Commission International (JCI).
2. Ten National Key Specialties including Asia's Top 1 neurosurgery with 15,000 annual procedures and largest dermatology clinic
Huashan Hospital holds 10 National Key Specialty designations—more than 98% of Chinese hospitals. Neurosurgery ranks #1 in Asia (Fudan Hospital Rankings 2024) performing 15,000+ procedures yearly; dermatology manages China's highest patient volume at 1.5 million annual visits; hand surgery pioneered China's microsurgery field with the 1966 limb reattachment breakthrough. National Health Commission's Key Specialty designation requires meeting 47 clinical quality indicators—only 3% of Chinese hospitals qualify in 10+ specialties.
3. Cutting-Edge Technologies (5G-AR, CAR-T, BCI) enhance clinical precision and accessibility
Huashan Hospital leads in clinical application of advanced medical technologies. Its robotic surgery is empowered by a 5G-AR surgical navigation platform, honored as one of China's Top 10 5G Applications in 2022. The international CAR-T therapy center provides life-saving treatments at 1/5 the cost of U.S. equivalents, while it launched China's first invasive brain-machine interface (BCI) trial in 2025, breaking new ground in neurological rehabilitation.

Overview: 46 Clinical Departments with Three World-Renowned Specialties Leading International Patient Care
Occupying a total of 46 clinical departments, Huashan Hospital contains multiple divisions including surgical, internal medicine, diagnostic, rehabilitation, and emergency. Although Huashan has full capabilities as a general hospital; the majority of patients from abroad travel to Huashan for three reasons: World renowned specialties such as Neurosurgery (the highest volume of brain surgeries performed in Asia) Dermatology (the largest skin disease clinic in China with over 1.5 million visits per year), and Hand Surgery/Microsurgery (the first to use limb reattachment techniques developed since 1966).
The International Medical Center is located on the eighth floor of Building #1 and provides coordination for all foreign patients using English only and insurance processing throughout all areas of Huashan Hospital.
