Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital

About the Hospital

Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital (上海市第一妇婴保健院), founded in 1947, is a Grade 3A specialist hospital in obstetrics and gynaecology (hospital homepage, 2026-07-07). In 2006 the hospital formally became affiliated with Tongji University as 同济大学附属第一妇婴保健院; in 2023 it received a second designation and was renamed 同济大学附属妇产科医院 (hospital homepage, 2026-07-07). The hospital operates two campuses: an East Campus at 2699 Gaoke West Road, Pudong New Area, and a West Campus at 536 Changle Road, Jing’an District (hospital homepage, 2026-07-07).

The outpatient navigation on the official website explicitly lists an International Medical Department (国际医疗部) (outpatient navigation page, 2026-07-07). The department’s specific service scope — including which languages are supported, what packages are available, and whether direct-billing insurance is accepted — could not be confirmed from the department’s own sub-page, which did not fully load during research. These details need to be confirmed directly with the hospital.

International Medical Pilot Status (Media Source Only)

A January 2024 Tencent News article reports that in September 2023 the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission designated a first batch of 13 Grade 3A hospitals as international medical tourism pilot units, and that this hospital was among them (Tencent News, 2026-07-07). This is a media lead only — the official government order has not been independently verified. We have not presented this as confirmed fact; if pilot-programme status matters to your visit planning, we recommend checking directly with the hospital or the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission.

Planned Visits This Hospital Suits

The First Maternity and Infant Hospital is a specialist women’s-and-newborn hospital with a long track record and Tongji University academic affiliation. Its confirmed International Medical Department makes it worth exploring for expatriate women planning prenatal care, delivery, gynaecological consultations, or neonatal follow-up in Shanghai. Given that the department’s scope remains unverified, this hospital is best suited to patients who can confirm service details in advance — either through the hospital’s customer-service line (021-968886, Monday–Saturday 08:00–17:00; main switchboard 021-20261000) or through us as part of visit preparation. Medical fees are paid directly to the hospital; we assist with coordination and logistics only.

What We Confirm Before You Book

The hospital homepage, outpatient navigation listing the International Medical Department, and English-language news pages are publicly accessible and were reviewed on 2026-07-07. The hospital provides an online registration system at zs.51mch.com and an online customer-service portal at services.51mch.com.

Not yet independently verified: the International Medical Department’s service scope, supported languages, whether English-speaking clinical staff are available, the department’s direct contact number (a line of 400 650 1278 appears in a government news source that could not be directly accessed), accepted international insurance, and current pricing. We recommend calling the customer-service line before travelling to confirm your specific needs can be met.
