View Detailed Introduction — Programs, Services & More

The Transplant Center is China's largest, performing over 600 liver transplants, 400 kidney transplants, and pioneering pediatric living-donor liver transplant programs annually. The hospital holds the national-leading 1-year and 5-year graft survival rates and operates a dedicated international transplant coordination office for patients traveling from Central Asia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

The Cancer Center treats over 50,000 oncology patients annually across thoracic, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, breast, gynecologic, head-and-neck, and hematologic malignancies. Sublines include proton therapy collaboration with affiliated centers, CAR-T cell therapy for refractory hematologic cancers, robotic thoracic surgery (3rd-highest da Vinci volume in China), and immunotherapy clinical trials accessible to international patients.

The International Medical Center provides English- and other-language-capable attending physicians, expedited specialist clinics (typical wait 1-3 days for outpatient, 1-2 weeks for surgery), VIP inpatient suites, on-site translators (English / Spanish / Portuguese / Arabic / Russian), and direct billing with international insurance partners. Chengdu's strategic location offers easy connectivity from Europe, Middle East, and ASEAN with reduced travel time vs. eastern coastal cities.

International patients are coordinated end-to-end by SSAnkang: pre-arrival second-opinion review, embassy invitation letter for medical visa, dedicated airport pickup in Chengdu, on-site interpreter and case manager, and post-discharge follow-up. Service tiers — Basic (free coordination) · Gold ($599 full concierge) · Diamond ($2,499 with senior physician access and VIP recovery suite).
