Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital — Special Needs / International Outpatient

Hospital Overview

Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital (上海交通大学医学院附属第六人民医院) was founded in 1904 and is a Grade 3A comprehensive teaching hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (SJTU medical school page, 2026-07-07). The hospital officially adopted its current SJTU affiliation name in 2022, having joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s affiliated-hospital network in 2002 (hospital introduction, 2026-07-07). It operates two campuses: the main Xuhui campus (宜山路600号, 1,956 licensed beds) and the Lingang campus (浦东新区环湖三路222号, 600 beds), for a combined total of 2,556 licensed beds (hospital introduction, 2026-07-07). The English-language website is at english.6thhosp.com (verified 2026-07-07).

In 2017 the hospital received accreditation from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) for its international simulation programme — a certification for simulation-based training, not a whole-hospital service accreditation (hospital introduction, 2026-07-07).

Special Needs / International Outpatient Department

The hospital maintains a Special Needs / International Medical Department (特需/国际医疗部) at the Xuhui campus, Building 1, 13th floor (outpatient) and 19th floor (inpatient). The official English-language website lists an international-cooperation email (liuyuanwaishi@163.com) and a medical-services contact (shlygjyl@163.com), and confirms the department’s presence at the Xuhui campus (english.6thhosp.com, 2026-07-07).

A 2016 article published on the Shanghai International Talent Service website (sh-italent.com, a platform affiliated with the Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau) reported that the department provides outpatient, inpatient, health check-up, emergency, and major-event medical-support services, and that staff support English and Korean in addition to Mandarin and Shanghainese, with outpatient hours Monday–Saturday 08:00–16:15 and an appointment line of 021-24056318 (sh-italent.com article, 2016, 2026-07-07). That source is a government-adjacent third-party site, and the information is approximately ten years old. We are seeking current confirmation directly from the hospital; patients should treat the language roster, floor numbers, and hours as leads to verify, not as guaranteed current arrangements.

Specialties Relevant to International Patients

The hospital’s Orthopaedics department is a National Clinical Key Specialty ranked in the national top ten, and its Endocrinology & Metabolism department is also a National Clinical Key Specialty (hospital introduction, 2026-07-07). The English-language website states the hospital serves more than five million patients per year (english.6thhosp.com, 2026-07-07). The official department list also notes the hospital holds a “China Shanghai International Centre for Limb Microsurgery Training” designation, which is an international medical-education programme, not a direct patient service (hospital introduction, 2026-07-07).

The 2016 third-party source mentions the department includes health check-up (体检) services; however, a dedicated English-language check-up package and pricing have not been independently confirmed. Dental, TCM, and ophthalmology services were not listed among the hospital’s verified key specialties and are not confirmed to be available through the international department.

Relevant Visits

Sixth People’s Hospital is a large specialist-teaching hospital best suited for patients whose coordination needs fall in orthopaedic care, endocrinology and metabolic disease, or general health screening within a major SJTU-affiliated centre. As a coordination service, we help with appointment logistics, document preparation, and interpreter access — all medical decisions remain with the clinical team.
