Union Hospital
协和医院Union Hospital is renowned for its Cardiac Surgery department (ranked #3 nationally). It offers dedicated international patient services.
Editor's Note
Tongji Hospital in Wuhan entered global consciousness during the COVID-19 pandemic, but reducing this institution to its pandemic response would be doing it a profound disservice. Long before 2020, Tongji was already one of China's premier surgical centers, with particular depth in organ transplantation: its liver, kidney, and heart transplant programs are among the highest-volume and highest-outcome programs in the country. The cardiac surgery department is especially notable, consistently ranked in China's top three for complex congenital heart repairs and valve surgeries. What the pandemic revealed — and what has since been reinforced — is an institutional culture of extraordinary clinical courage and rapid mobilization. Tongji's intensive care capabilities are now among the most advanced in central China, with ECMO and critical care protocols refined under the most demanding conditions imaginable. For patients seeking high-stakes surgical care, Tongji offers world-class outcomes at costs significantly below coastal city equivalents.
