Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
One of China's oldest teaching hospitals (1907) and a national leader in haematology and endocrine surgery.
Ruijin Hospital is one of China's oldest teaching hospitals, founded in 1907, and the place where Chinese endocrinology was established as a discipline. It remains a national leader in haematology and endocrine surgery, and is JCI accredited.
The haematology unit is the reason many international patients come: it runs CAR-T programmes for refractory lymphoma and leukaemia, and the volume of cases means the team has seen the complications before. If you have been told your options are exhausted, this is a reasonable place to test that.
Ruijin's international department is also used to overseas insurance paperwork and offers direct billing for several large insurers — unusual in China, and often the difference between an affordable case and an unaffordable one.
Founded 1907.

Approximate non-stop durations. A coordinator books transfers from the airport to your hotel and to every appointment.
Practical notes
Direct billing arrangements exist with several large insurers — worth checking before you pay anything yourself. Shanghai has two airports; Pudong handles most long-haul traffic and is 45–75 minutes from the central hospitals.
