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

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

Overview

Renji Hospital (仁济医院), affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, is one of China's oldest and most distinguished Grade 3A comprehensive hospitals. Founded in 1844 by British missionaries, it has nearly two centuries of medical heritage. The hospital is nationally recognized for its excellence in gastroenterology, reproductive medicine and IVF, rheumatology, urology, and nephrology. Its reproductive medicine center is among the busiest and most successful IVF programs in China, and its gastroenterology and rheumatology departments consistently rank among the national top tier.

Campus Locations

Renji Hospital operates across two main campuses:

  • West Campus (Main) — 160 Pujian Road, Pudong New Area. The primary campus housing most specialist departments including gastroenterology, rheumatology, urology, and nephrology.
  • East Campus — 1630 Dongfang Road, Pudong New Area. Houses the reproductive medicine center (IVF) and select specialist departments.

Confirm which campus hosts your required department before booking, as key departments are split between the two campuses.
