Changzheng Hospital has been operating in Shanghai since 1900. It is the largest multidisciplinary complex, capable of admitting 1,980 inpatients at the same time. Approximately 25,000 patients receive treatment here each year. The medical staff includes physicians of the highest qualification category, among them 300 Candidates of Sciences, Doctors of Sciences, and professors representing various medical specialties. The center integrates innovative treatment approaches with the traditional Chinese perspective on the mechanisms of disease development.

One of the clinic’s priority areas is cardiology. Local cardiologists and cardiac surgeons perform highly complex thoracic and microsurgical operations on the heart and major vessels. Eighty percent of physicians in the cardiovascular department hold academic degrees and are professors at prestigious institutes across the country.

The spinal surgery department performs more than 2,500 operations annually, including microsurgical vertebroplasty. Minimally invasive treatment of intervertebral disc herniations and protrusions is also carried out here.

The reproduction and assisted reproductive technology department performs the largest number of successful IVF, IUI, ICSI, and IMSI procedures in the country. In addition, local physicians offer pregnancy management services for women over the age of 45.

The clinic’s equipment is updated and modernized every 3–5 years. It includes single- and dual-photon linear accelerators, high-field tomographs, endoscopes and laparoscopes with enhanced optics from Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and other manufacturers, ultrasound systems with 3D visualization, computer-based and neuronavigation systems, and robotic technologies.

In addition to traditional evidence-based medical strategies, Changzheng Hospital offers patients:

  • Herbal medicine

  • Needle-knife therapy

  • Gua Sha scraping therapy

  • Cupping massage

  • Acupuncture

  • Acupressure

  • Breathing exercises

Physicians at the institution believe that supplementing primary treatment with these methods helps tone the body, activate biochemical and immune processes at the cellular level, and accelerate recovery after surgery and invasive procedures.
