About the Hospital
Shanghai East International Medical Center (SEIMC), established in 2000, is Shanghai's first joint-venture hospital to receive a comprehensive hospital operating license. Located in the heart of Lujiazui Financial District, the hospital is staffed by a multilingual international medical team. As a pioneer in Shanghai's healthcare sector, SEIMC has achieved numerous "firsts": the first to receive a comprehensive hospital operating license, the first to establish 24-hour outpatient, emergency, and inpatient services, the first to establish in-house operating theaters, and the first to introduce GE digital X-ray and digital mammography equipment. The hospital features a complete department system including General Practice, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Oncology, Emergency Medicine, Rehabilitation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, with operating theaters equipped with laminar flow air filtration systems. As the primary provider of English-speaking emergency care in Pudong, SEIMC has become the designated healthcare provider for numerous multinational corporations, international schools, foreign consulates, and five-star hotels. With over two decades of international medical service experience, the hospital has established direct billing services with numerous international and domestic insurance companies.

Though both share the same address (551 South Pudong Road), they are separate institutions. Please confirm your appointment is with the international medical center.
