World-class infrastructure

Shanghai's flagship hospitals — Ruijin, Huashan, Zhongshan — operate at the scale and standard of any in the West, with imaging and surgical robotics often newer than European peers.

Internationally trained physicians

A generation of Shanghai specialists holds postgraduate experience at Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson and Karolinska — and continues to publish in the world's leading journals.

03

Effortless arrival

Two international airports, 240-hour visa-free transit for 54 nationalities, and a metro system that connects Pudong to the Bund in twenty-five minutes.

04

A cosmopolitan home

English signage, world-class hotels, three-Michelin-star dining, leafy plane-tree streets in the former French Concession — Shanghai is among the most liveable cities in Asia.

05

An ancient pharmacopoeia

Two thousand years of Traditional Chinese Medicine, integrated thoughtfully alongside contemporary care for those who wish — never as substitution.

06

Discreet & private

A note on culture

Shanghai has been welcoming foreigners since 1843.

Long before it was China's commercial capital, Shanghai was a treaty port — a meeting place of cultures. That century-and-a-half of cosmopolitan instinct shapes everything from how hotels treat guests to how doctors explain a diagnosis. You will feel it the moment you arrive.
