The world's largest single-campus hospital with 4,900 planned beds across 3 campuses. National #2 ranking with the best price-value ratio among top-tier hospitals. A unique combination of cutting-edge Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Overview & History
Founded in 1892 by Western missionaries, West China Hospital is the oldest and largest medical institution in western China. Today it stands as the world's largest single-campus hospital, with 4,900 planned beds across 3 campuses and one of the highest surgical volumes nationally. It holds the #2 position nationally in the Fudan ranking — second only to PUMCH.
West China Hospital offers something no other top-3 hospital provides: genuine integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern Western medicine. Its TCM department is among China's finest, and patients can opt for combined treatment protocols that blend evidence-based Western care with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and therapeutic massage — particularly valuable for recovery and chronic condition management.
Chengdu itself is a major draw — China's "Land of Abundance" with world-famous cuisine, giant pandas, and a relaxed pace of life that enhances recovery. The cost of living is significantly lower than in Beijing or Shanghai, translating to the best overall value in our network.
