Xinhua Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine: Shanghai's Comprehensive Healthcare “All-Round Benchmark” and Lifelong Health Guardian
I. Hospital Profile
Xinhua Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as “Xinhua Hospital”), founded in 1958, was the first comprehensive hospital established in Shanghai after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is now a directly affiliated hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and a Grade A tertiary general hospital under the National Health Commission. Integrating medical care, teaching, research, and prevention, it consistently ranks among the top 100 hospitals nationwide.
Guided by its motto of “Compassion, Rigour, Excellence, and Innovation,” the hospital has evolved over 67 years into a multi-site, comprehensive healthcare network: The main campus (1960 Xinhua Road) adjoins Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Xuhui Campus. The Pudong Campus (525 Hongfeng Road, Pudong New Area) is integrated with the Shanghai International Medical Park. The Chongming Branch (2 Yu'an Road, Chenjia Town, Chongming District) serves residents of the ecological island. With over 2,500 open beds, the hospital handles more than 5 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, performing over 40,000 surgeries per year (where Level III and IV surgeries account for over 55%). Its services extend across the Yangtze River Delta and nationwide, attracting international families from Europe, America, and the Asia-Pacific. It is acclaimed as the “Eastern Shanghai Medical Center” and the “Yangtze River Delta Hub for Treating Complex and Critical Illnesses.”
