Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University

The International Medical Department and visit arrangements

Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University is at 169 Donghu Road in Wuchang District. Its International Medical Department uses a model that combines general practice with specialist care and offers appointment-based consultations, expert consultations and inpatient services. The hospital says the department has subspecialties in respiratory medicine, cardiovascular medicine, gastroenterology, endocrinology, nephrology and neurology, as well as wards for international patients, and that it has formally provided international medical services since 2024. The department also offers one-stop service, a fast-track pathway and ward nursing care, but the specific services, costs and eligibility still need to be confirmed case by case.

The hospital’s patient guide states that the International Medical Department outpatient clinic is on the second floor of Building 4, while the department page lists the department and ward on floors 24–25 of Building 4. Outpatient and inpatient care are on different floors, so confirm the exact entrance and floor with the hospital before you arrive. First-time patients need valid identification, and overseas visitors can use their original passport. Appointments can be made through the hospital’s WeChat official account or in person at the outpatient hall. The hospital also publishes a 24-hour special-care outpatient line at 18108622857 and special-care inpatient lines at 027-67813476 and 18154326781. The numbers are published as 24-hour lines; language support and specific arrangements depend on the hospital. If you need assistance in a particular language, say so when booking; do not assume it can be arranged on site at any time.

Bring previous test results, a list of medications and allergy information to your appointment so you can discuss them with medical staff. If you only need regular outpatient care, check the department and consultation times in the hospital’s official outpatient schedule; confirm the booking method and costs for the International Medical Department and the regular outpatient clinic separately with the hospital. The hospital’s pages mention partnerships with some insurers, but this does not prove that a particular policy applies or that direct billing is available; check with both the hospital and your insurer before the visit. The International Medical Department is an appointment-based service and should not be used as an alternative way to access emergency care. If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, a change in consciousness or a serious injury, contact emergency services or go to the emergency department directly; do not wait for an International Medical Department appointment. The hospital’s published contact details may change, so check the latest page on its official website before you go.
