Official pilot list · 2026–2027

The 25 hospitals designated for international patients in Guangdong.

On 26 March 2026, the provincial Health Commission, Healthcare Security Administration and Medical Products Administration published the first batch of hospitals licensed to run international medical services. This is the complete list, organised by city and clinical strength.

How to read this list. Inclusion means the hospital was selected by the province to run an international medical service wing. It is not a ranking, and the hospitals are not interchangeable — a cardiac centre and an eye hospital serve entirely different patients. The pilot list is reviewed periodically and hospitals can be added or removed, so always confirm the current status at the time of booking.

Specialty focus shown for each hospital is indicative and drawn from publicly reported clinical strengths. It is not an official designation, a ranking, or a guarantee of outcome. Contact details were compiled from hospital publications and may change; always confirm directly with the hospital’s international department before travelling. Final referral, acceptance and treatment planning are determined solely by the hospital and its licensed physicians.

"Direct billing" indicates that the hospital publicly states an arrangement with international insurers. "Partial" means pre-authorisation is required and coverage is insurer-dependent. Where no arrangement is published, treatment is normally paid by the patient and reimbursed afterwards.

Not sure which one to choose? Describe the diagnosis in a short message and we will tell you which two or three of these hospitals genuinely lead in that condition — and which would be a wasted trip. There is no charge for the recommendation. Ask for a shortlist →
