Why international patients come here

A municipal tertiary hospital founded in 1899 and still the largest in Guangzhou’s municipal system, valued for steady general internal medicine, gastroenterology and geriatric care. A sensible choice for older patients who need thorough diagnostic workup and chronic disease optimisation rather than a single high-tech procedure.

Clinical strengths

What to expect as an international patient

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.
