Reported strengths
As a comprehensive tertiary hospital, this institution is a sensible first destination when the diagnosis is unclear or when several specialties need to be involved at once. Multidisciplinary case review is standard practice, and the international department coordinates between departments on your behalf rather than leaving you to book each one separately.
As the provincial capital, Guangzhou concentrates the largest cluster of pilot hospitals and the widest range of subspecialties. Baiyun International Airport is the usual arrival point, with direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The historic Yuexiu district holds several of the older institutions, while Tianhe and Haizhu host the newer academic campuses.
