Clinic Minhang Researched & Verified

Children's Hospital of Fudan University

复旦大学附属儿科医院

Children's Hospital of Fudan University (复旦大学附属儿科医院) is a national tertiary children's hospital in Minhang, and among China's most established pediatric centres. It was the first children's hospital in Asia accredited by Joint Commission International, and runs an International Clinic Center with some English service at a higher fee alongside its busy public clinics. For complex or specialist pediatric care the clinical depth is hard to match, though the main outpatient system is Chinese-language and crowded. Register in advance through official channels, and ask about the international clinic if you need English.
