West China Hospital (Huaxi)
Leading Medical Excellence
West China Hospital of Sichuan University (Huaxi) is China’s largest single-site teaching hospital, with 4,300 beds and a 130-year legacy of clinical innovation and research leadership. Consistently ranked top-three nationwide and #1 for scientific output among Chinese hospitals, Huaxi treats more than 7 million out-patients and 250 thousand in-patients every year, giving its physicians unmatched case-volume experience. The campus integrates 54 clinical departments, state-of-the-art diagnostics (3 T MRI, PET-CT, robotic ORs) and an award-winning International Medical Center (IMC) that delivers hotel-style private suites, English-speaking staff and concierge coordination for global patients. Located in the relaxed, culinary capital of Chengdu, the hospital pairs Western-class tertiary care with optional Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies and easy access to the city's panda sanctuaries, tea culture and wellness retreats—creating a uniquely holistic setting for recovery.
Top-Tier Global Reputation
Ranked #2 in China for 13 consecutive years in the Fudan national hospital league table; listed in the Nature Index world Top-20 for hospital research impact.
You receive care at a facility that publishes breakthrough science on par with Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins, backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies each year. Your surgeon's techniques are not just "up to standard"—they often set the standard used worldwide.
International Medical Center (IMC)
VIP inpatient suites, English menus, 24/7 bilingual hotline, direct billing with SOS-type insurers, and a laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP)
Expect hotel-style privacy plus concierge-level coordination. From airport pickup to bedside interpretation, the IMC shields you from the usual mega-hospital bustle so you can focus on healing while Chaperon remains on-call as your extra "local family" and interpreter in any pinch.
Trail-blazing Surgical Innovation
Performed Asia’s first laryngeal (voice-box) transplant in 2023 and now leads a series of complex transplants and minimally-invasive cancer surgeries
Cutting-edge procedures that are still rare—or unavailable—elsewhere can be scheduled here at significantly lower cost. If your case needs something truly advanced, Huaxi's teams already have the live OR experience to handle it.
Integrated Traditional Chinese & Western Medicine
Decades-long research program combining TCM (acupuncture, herbal formulas) with critical-care protocols for conditions such as severe pancreatitis
You can add physician-guided acupuncture, cupping or herbal rehab to mainstream surgery or oncology care—blending evidence-based Western treatment with China’s 2,000-year wellness heritage for pain control, faster recovery and stress relief.
Nation-Leading Telemedicine Network
Huaxi's platform links 600+ hospitals and provides real-time overseas video consultations
Before you fly, Huaxi specialists can review scans remotely; after you return home, follow-ups happen by secure video. Chaperon schedules and translates these calls, keeping your recovery on track without another long-haul journey.
World-Class Care at ~40-60 % of Western Prices
Public-hospital pricing plus bundled VIP services create dramatic savings over US/EU rates
A complex heart bypass or liver transplant often costs less than a routine procedure back home. Transparent estimates, insurance liaison and Chaperon's fixed-fee concierge remove financial guesswork.
