Hospital directory
Boao Lecheng hospitals: 10 institutions for international patients.
The 10 institutions in our current Boao network — not a ranking, and not the full list (the zone has 40+ institutions). “Known for” is based on official department lists and public announcements; “project examples” are examples, not a complete list. Approval status, eligibility, price, English service, and insurance direct billing must be confirmed with the hospital.
Booking route matters. At many Chinese public hospitals the standard outpatient clinic is same-day registration and usually cannot be pre-booked from overseas; the international/VIP department can often be pre-booked, and private international hospitals usually accept direct booking. Ask which department you are booking, not just which hospital.
12 authorized reception institutions (May 2026): of the 10 below, Ruijin, West China, Boao Super, Shulan, Ciming, Zhongshan Eye, and Mellsser are on that first-batch list; Boao Future, Shanghai TCM, and Pengbo are not — confirm their international reception status directly.

Post-treatment safety: ask about fit-to-fly.
For any treatment involving sedation, surgery, anaesthesia, or a hospital stay, ask before discharge: will the hospital assess whether you are fit to fly, give written discharge instructions and warning symptoms, and help with airline medical forms? “Discharged” is not the same as “fit to fly.”
