Moved from Jiangsu Road to the Laoshan Campus
The International Clinic of The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University is now at the Laoshan Campus, not the Shinan Campus at 16 Jiangsu Road. A hospital notice in August 2025 said the International Clinic had moved from the fifth floor of the outpatient building at the Shinan Campus to Clinic Area 8 on the third floor of the Medical Complex (Building 6) at the Laoshan Campus. The Laoshan Campus is at 59 Haier Road, Laoshan District, near the Shilaoren Bathing Beach area.
The hospital has five campuses—Shinan, Laoshan, West Coast, Pingdu, and Shibei—so when taking a taxi or navigating, choose “Laoshan Campus,” not just “QDU Affiliated Hospital.” Once at Building 6, look for the International Clinic in “Clinic Area 8”; the old address at 16 Jiangsu Road is the Shinan Campus and cannot be used to find the International Clinic.


Appointments, clinic hours, and scope of services
The International Clinic is mainly an appointment-based specialist clinic. A 2025 notice says it brings together experienced specialists and academic leaders from many fields and provides appointment visits, disease-specific care, telemedicine, and overseas medical services. Specific departments and specialists follow the current month's schedule; there is no fixed, unchanging list of departments.
Clinic hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30–12:00 and 13:30–17:00; the page does not list weekend or evening clinics. The appointment numbers are 0532-82912071 and 0532-87126762, which the hospital labels as 24-hour appointment lines; “24-hour” refers to the appointment line, not to clinic hours. When you call, state your main symptoms, how long they have lasted, your age, passport information, and the language you need, and the hospital will decide which specialty to register you with.
Languages, fees, and insurance
Current notices do not name specific foreign languages. The 2014 opening notice for the International Medical Department says only that it has “Chinese- and foreign-language guides”; it does not say which parts of the visit are covered by English, Japanese, or Korean. You therefore cannot infer from the name “International Clinic” that English is available throughout. State your language needs when booking, and confirm at the guide desk on arrival.
Fees and insurance also need to be confirmed separately. The opening notice mentions cooperation with a number of domestic and international medical service and insurance companies, but it does not state direct billing, discounts, or which policies are accepted; the current page also has no fee schedule. Bring your passport, insurance card, a list of medications you are taking, and previous test results. Ask how registration, tests, and treatment are each charged before deciding whether to go ahead.
Not an emergency department; foreign patients should call first
The International Clinic is not an emergency department. A 2014 hospital visit notice states explicitly that the International and VIP clinics do not provide emergency services and that patients needing emergency care should go to the emergency department at any time; the 2025 relocation notice lists only weekday daytime clinic hours and does not add evening or emergency services.
In an emergency, call 120 or go to the nearest hospital's emergency department; do not delay while waiting for the International Clinic to open. The official website does not publish a registration process specifically for foreign patients and provides only appointment phone numbers. On your first visit, state your passport information, symptoms, and language needs, and follow the hospital's instructions. The addresses, hours, phone numbers, and emergency boundaries above were verified on 11 November 2026.
