About SIMC

Shanghai International Medical Center (SIMC) is one of the healthcare reform pilot projects supported by the National Health Commission of China and the Shanghai Municipal Government, as well as a demonstration base for the development of modern healthcare services in Shanghai. The hospital provides a platform for physicians to practice at multiple medical institutions and officially began operations on May 28, 2014. SIMC is committed to integrating the specialist resources of public hospitals with high-quality medical services to serve patients from across China and around the world.

SIMC is located in Shanghai International Medical Zone, in the southern core area of Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park. The hospital occupies approximately 104 mu (about 69,000 square meters), with a total floor area of 97,000 square meters. It is adjacent to the Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone and Shanghai Disney Resort, approximately 15 kilometers from the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone and 17 kilometers from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. SIMC was designed and built with reference to Joint Commission International (JCI) standards and the standards for Grade III Class A hospitals in China. It is a large general hospital combining an international perspective on healthcare, modern services, and standardized medical management. The hospital has 500 beds, 118 outpatient consultation rooms, 15 operating rooms, and 10 integrated labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms, and is equipped with major medical equipment including CT, MRI, DSA, and linear accelerators.

As a healthcare reform pilot project of the National Health Commission of China and the Shanghai Municipal Government, SIMC works with key specialties and medical teams from more than ten Grade III Class A hospitals affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Fudan University, including Ruijin Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital, Renji Hospital, Huashan Hospital, Xinhua Hospital, and Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital. More than 1,200 specialists have provided consultations and performed surgeries at SIMC, and over 200 specialists maintain regular multi-site practices at the hospital. Grade III and Grade IV surgeries account for up to 80% of the hospital’s surgical volume. These collaborations have enabled SIMC to establish a comprehensive, multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment platform bringing together medical specialists and disciplines from across China.

SIMC has 27 clinical departments and 6 medical technology departments. It has three hospital-level key specialty groups: Oncology, Neurosurgery, and Sports Injury and Rehabilitation. It also has nine specialized centers: the Non-Invasive Brain Disease Center, Refractory Tumor Treatment Center, Radiotherapy Center, Ultrasound Intervention Center, Endoscopy Center, Rehabilitation Center, Reproductive Medicine Center, Gynecology Center, and Pediatrics Center. Its premium medical and health services include the International Medical Department, Health Management Department (Membership Center), and Health Examination Center.

As an international medical center, SIMC continues to develop its clinical specialties and build collaborative medical platforms while actively expanding cooperation with healthcare institutions in China and abroad. The hospital currently works with medical teams and institutions worldwide, including Osaka Medical University, Osaka City University, Osaka Heavy Ion and Proton Therapy Center, Southern Tohoku Medical Group, Moran Health Care Group in Australia, LA FACE Eye Center in the United States, the Texas Medical Center Sleep Center in the United States, and The London Clinic in the United Kingdom. Through overseas hospital teleconsultations, international referral consultation services, and other forms of cooperation, SIMC assists patients in connecting with healthcare institutions abroad.

Since its establishment, SIMC has followed its “5H” service philosophy: Hospital, Hotel, Home, Heart, and Happiness. While bringing together high-quality medical resources, SIMC also places great emphasis on every aspect of the patient experience. The hospital features a spacious, light-filled lobby, patient rooms designed to international standards, elegant and ample public lounge areas, 18 elevators, and 4 escalators. The ratio of total facility space to the number of beds meets U.S. standards.

In health management, SIMC offers a VIP Family Membership program, providing families with dedicated physicians and professional health management services for the entire family throughout the life cycle. These services include disease prevention, chronic disease follow-up and management, direct access to renowned specialists, nutritional support, and rehabilitation. It is the first medical institution in China to provide health management services specifically for international residents and middle- to high-income families.

In terms of payment services, SIMC is connected to payment platforms covering more than 60 international commercial health insurance plans and supports direct billing for international commercial insurance. The hospital was also among the first institutions participating in the pilot program for combined medical insurance payments, meeting the healthcare and coverage needs of different patient groups at multiple levels.

SIMC’s core service philosophy is “Bringing Compassion to The Healthcare”. Its guiding principle is “Patients’ Interests Come First,” and its values are “Sincerity, Innovation, Excellence, and Collaboration.”

The development of a hospital under a mixed-ownership model that combines public and private participation in healthcare is a long-term undertaking. SIMC will continue to study and explore this model while fulfilling its mission to advance a multi-level healthcare service system. It aims to become a model for socially operated healthcare institutions, a demonstration of the platform-based hospital model, and a benchmark for international healthcare, while building a medical institution that earns the satisfaction of the public and the confidence of the government.
