Healthcare overview

Chengdu's healthcare is anchored by Sichuan University's West China hospitals and by large provincial hospitals, complemented by specialist women's and children's facilities and a growing private clinic sector. Advanced imaging, laboratory medicine and multidisciplinary cancer services are well established. Consultations are usually conducted in Mandarin, so international patients should plan for interpretation.
