Xinhua Hospital Shanghai: Campus Guide & How to Book an Appointment

Overview

Xinhua Hospital (新华医院), affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, is one of Shanghai's most respected Grade 3A comprehensive hospitals. Founded in 1958, it is particularly distinguished for its integrated adult and pediatric care under one roof — a relatively rare model in China. The hospital is nationally recognized for its excellence in pediatrics, cardiology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), dermatology, and pediatric surgery. Its pediatric cardiology program and ENT department are among the top-ranked in the country, attracting patients from across China and internationally.

Campus Locations

Xinhua Hospital operates across two main campuses:

  • Main Campus — 1665 Kongjiang Road, Yangpu District. The flagship campus housing all major specialist departments including pediatrics, cardiology, ENT, dermatology, and pediatric surgery.
  • Chongming Campus — Chongming Island. Provides comprehensive services for residents of Chongming and serves as a satellite campus for select specialties.

Flagship specialist departments are concentrated at the Main Campus. Confirm department location before booking.
