Methodology
How we curate, verify, and maintain the data on ChinaHospital.
Our principles
3A is the baseline
Every hospital listed holds China's highest grade, 3A (δΈη²), awarded by the NHC. We do not list lower-tier or unverified facilities.
No fabricated ratings
We do not publish patient star ratings because we currently collect no verified patient reviews. Hospitals are presented by accreditation, specialty reputation, and objective facts β not invented scores.
Prices are ranges, not quotes
Cost figures are indicative ranges to help you budget. Actual costs depend on your specific case, the hospital, and the treatment plan. Always obtain a written quote before committing.
Information, not advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice. We describe hospitals, processes, costs, and visas. Treatment decisions must be made with a qualified physician.
Regular review
Hospital profiles, visa policy, and price references are reviewed periodically. Visa rules in particular change frequently β always confirm with official sources before travel.
Data sources
We compile hospital information from the following public, authoritative sources and re-check them periodically:
National Health Commission (NHC) of China
Official hospital registration and 3A grade verification via the NHC medical-institution query portal.
Fudan University Hospital Rankings
Specialty reputation, covering 40+ clinical specialties, voted by 5,000+ expert physicians combined with research output.
Joint Commission International (JCI)
International accreditation status, verified against the official JCI accredited-organizations list.
Hospital official websites & international departments
Address, contact details, specialties, languages, and international-patient services, confirmed via the hospital's own published information.
Provincial / municipal price catalogs
Reference price ranges for common diagnostics (MRI, CT, PET-CT) at public 3A hospitals, where available.
What we do not do
- We do not endorse or guarantee the clinical outcomes of any hospital.
- We do not sell medical treatments. Services are coordination and information, not healthcare itself.
- We do not accept payment to manipulate hospital listings or rankings.
- We do not collect detailed medical records through the public contact form β only basic needs, to protect your privacy.
Verification & updates
Each hospital profile notes when it was last reviewed. Visa and pricing data are updated as policy and catalogs change, but you should always confirm current details with the relevant hospital or official government source before making decisions. Found an error or an outdated figure? Tell us β corrections from hospitals and patients help us stay accurate.
